1958 Map of Gallipolis

About this map

The Ohio River dominates the center of this 1958 survey, serving as the border between Gallipolis, Ohio, and Point Pleasant, West Virginia. This confluence region is a dense network of river-and-rail infrastructure, where the Kanawha River meets the Ohio near the Chesapeake and Ohio and Baltimore and Ohio railroads. The map captures Gallipolis as a regional hub, featuring the expansive Gallipolis State Institute, the Gallia Academy, and civic landmarks like the Courthouse and City Hall.
