1957 Map of Charleston East

About this map

The Kanawha River serves as the industrial and civic spine of this West Virginia landscape, winding past the Capitol and the sprawling Kanawha City district. During the late 1950s and into the early 1970s, the region saw significant infrastructure growth, highlighted by the West Virginia Turnpike (Toll Road) and the expansion of the Kanawha Airport atop the leveled hills. The riverbanks are a dense corridor of transportation and commerce, where the Chesapeake and Ohio RR and New York Central RR flank the water, supporting communities like Malden and Dupont City.
