1958 Map of Charleston East

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

The Kanawha River serves as the industrial and transportation backbone for this area east of Charleston, where the river valley is tightly packed with infrastructure. While the city's urban core occupies the western edge, the valley floor to the southeast is a dense corridor of rail lines like the Conrail and Chesapeake and Ohio, alongside manufacturing centers such as Dupont City. The map reveals the era's mid-century development patterns, from the expansive Kanawha Airport atop the plateau to the growing residential footprints of Kanawha Estates and Port Amherst.
