1921 Map of Callaghan

About this map

The mountain gaps and winding valley drafts of the West Virginia Virginia borderlands define this 1921 survey, centered on the Anthony Creek watershed. Small settlements like Neola and Alvon anchor a landscape where education was highly localized, evidenced by a dense network of mountain institutions including Slab Camp School, Bound School, and Allegheny Mt School. The presence of Columbia Sulphur Springs at the northern edge reflects the region's enduring appeal for mineral spring tourism during the early twentieth century.
