1959 Map of Brandonville

About this map

Brandonville and the surrounding hill country of Preston County sit at the center of this late-1950s survey, illustrating a landscape defined by small crossroads settlements and the early extractive industry. The map captures a period of transition where traditional rural landmarks like the Salem Sch and Locust Grove Ch stand alongside growing industrial signatures. Evidence of coal production is widespread south of the town, where numerous Strip Mine operations and individual Mine sites follow the contours above Little Sandy Creek.
