1966 Map of Allegany

USGS Topo · Published 1991

About this map

Alleghany and the surrounding mountain ridges sit along the border of Virginia and West Virginia during the mid-1960s, defined by a landscape of isolated valleys and deep railway engineering. The Chesapeake and Ohio railroad threads through the northern reaches of the map, marked by the significant Lewis Tunnel and its namesake Lewis Tunnel Cem. This region is characterized by historical mineral springs and small gaps in the George Washington National Forest, including the community of Sweet Springs and the nearby Sweet Chalybeate. Resource extraction and rural life are evidenced by the Iron Hill Springs and various isolated churches such as Palestine Ch and Sugar Valley Ch. The terrain transitions from the heights of Peters Mountain down to the winding waters of Dunlap Creek, where small settlements like Crows and Hematite persist along the winding road and rail corridors.
