1926 Map of Elizabeth
USGS Topo · Published 1948About this map
The Hughes River winds through a dense network of ridges and rural settlements in the mid-1920s, anchoring a landscape defined by small-scale farming and the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. The county seat at Elizabeth serves as the primary hub along the Little Kanawha river, while smaller villages like Petroleum and Kanawha Station follow the rail lines and riverbanks. This era in West Virginia's history is reflected in the high density of neighborhood institutions, including the Mt Olive Church and a remarkable number of country schoolhouses.
