1917 Map of Cowen
USGS Topo · Published 1917About this map
Camden on Gauley and Richwood serve as industrial and transport anchors within this rugged corridor of the Appalachian plateau during the early twentieth century. The landscape is defined by the sharp winding of the Gauley River and the Cranberry River, where the Baltimore and Ohio railroad follows the water's edge to service timber and mineral interests at Coal Siding and Curtin. This survey reveals a high density of rural schoolhouses, such as Alto Vista School and Anthony Creek School, highlighting the distributed nature of mountain communities before modern consolidation.
