1968 Map of Barboursville

About this map

The Ohio River and Guyandotte River converge near this 1968 landscape, framing a period of mid-century suburban expansion and industrial transport. The township of Barboursville and emerging neighborhoods like East Pea Ridge and West Pea Ridge define the West Virginia side, while Proctorville and Rome anchor the Ohio riverbank. This era shows a community in transition, where new developments and golf courses like the Glenbrier Country Club sit alongside established landmarks such as the County Fairground and numerous local congregations, including White Chapel and Spirit Chapel.
