USGS Topo · Published 1970About this map
Cathedral State Park stands as a focal point in this high-altitude corner of Preston County, where the George Washington Highway winds through the Appalachian landscape. The late 1950s settlement pattern is defined by clustered farmsteads and rural crossroads like Aurora, Eglon, and Amboy. This region is characterized by its numerous small-scale religious and educational centers, including the Accident Sch Maple Grove Ch and Stemple Ridge Ch, which served the local timber and farming families.
