1924 Map of Circleville

About this map

Germany Settlement and the high ridges of the Allegheny Mountains define this 1920s topography of Pendleton County. The landscape is a network of steep mountain gaps and narrow river valleys, anchored by the North Fork Potomac River and the South Branch Potomac River. Small mountain communities such as Circleville, Riverton, and Sugar Grove are documented alongside numerous one-room schoolhouses like Sinnet School and Buffalo School, reflecting the era's rural social structure.
