1912 Map of Big Bend
USGS Topo · Published 1964About this map
The New River and Greenbrier River converge at Hinton, forming a vital transportation hub in this early twentieth-century survey. The landscape is defined by the heavy infrastructure of the Chesapeake and Ohio RR, which follows the riverbanks and pierces the terrain at the massive Big Bend Tunnel near Talcott. This rugged river-and-rail economy is supported by numerous small settlements and localized services, including Packs Ferry PO and Haines Ferry, which facilitated movement across the deep river valleys before modern bridging.
