1958 Map of Charleston West

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

The Kanawha River corridor serves as the industrial and residential heart of this late 1950s survey, anchoring the cities of Charleston, South Charleston, and Dunbar. Heavy infrastructure is concentrated along the northern banks, including the sprawling Naval Ordnance Plant and the rail lines of the New York Central and Chesapeake and Ohio. The terrain transitions sharply from the urbanized river valley to the steep, wooded ridges of the south, where the Kanawha State Forest preserves the natural landscape.
