1996 Map of Charleston East

About this map

The Kanawha River corridor dominates this late-twentieth-century landscape, serving as the primary artery for industry and transit through the valley. Along its banks, the industrial character of the era is evident at the Marmet Locks and the extensive rail infrastructure of the Conrail and CSX Transportation lines. The map reveals the eastward expansion of Charleston, where residential neighborhoods like Kanawha City and Riverview sit opposite the steep, wooded slopes of Maiden Mountain.
