1967 Map of Craigsville

About this map

Craigsville and the industrial hamlet of Fordwick sit at the eastern base of North Mountain, where the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad corridor dictates the settlement pattern. This late 1960s survey documents a landscape defined by the convergence of the Calfpasture River and the Little Calfpasture River, with numerous limestone quarries indicating the local mineral economy. Cultural markers like the Drive-in Theater near Craigsville and the Lebanon Church further south suggest the social fabric of the era.
