1923 Map of Callaghan

About this map

Columbia Sulphur Springs anchors the northern reaches of this 1921 survey, situated along the complex drainage of Anthony Creek and W and H Creek. This transition zone between West Virginia and Virginia is defined by a dense network of schoolhouses, suggesting a highly decentralized but active rural population in the early twentieth century. These one-room educational landmarks, such as Slabcamp School, Bound School, and Hull School, are found tucked into nearly every hollow and draft, serving the scattered homes of the Little Allegheny Ridge.
