1976 Map of Bancroft
USGS Topo · Published 1980About this map
Bancroft and its neighbors along the Kanawha River corridor are captured in this mid-1970s orthophotograph, providing a unique visual of the industrial and residential settlement patterns in Putnam County. The imagery reveals the distinct linear development of Hometown and Plymouth tucked between the steep, forested ridges and the riverbank. This perspective, produced by the U.S. Geological Survey and the Soil Conservation Service, offers a clear view of the cleared hillsides and valley floors where small communities like Confidence and Heizer were established. Researchers can see how the topography dictated the layout of roads and homesteads, creating a high-resolution record of the landscape as it appeared during the Bicentennial era.
