1957 Map of Charleston East

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

The State Capitol stands prominently along the north bank of the Kanawha River in this late-1950s survey of West Virginia's seat of government. This map captures a pivotal era of infrastructure development, featuring the West Virginia Turnpike (Toll Road) as it curves south through South Malden and Marmet. Urban expansion is evident in the residential clusters of Kanawha City and Dupont City, while institutional landmarks like Morris Harvey College, Memorial Hospital, and the Hillcrest Sanitarium anchor the community's mid-century footprint.
