1925 Map of Burnsville
USGS Topo · Published 1964About this map
Burnsville stands at the confluence of the Kanawha River and Saltlick Creek, serving as a central hub for the Baltimore and Ohio RR as it winds through the central West Virginia hills. The map reveals a landscape defined by its rural density, where narrow creek valleys like Sand Fork and Little Kanawha River are punctuated by dozens of one-room schoolhouses, including St Bernards School and the remote Jerseywood School. These institutions, along with post offices like Bennett Kemper PO and Gem PO Coger, suggest a era of localized community life before the consolidation of mountain infrastructure.
