1958 Map of Gallipolis

About this map

Gallipolis and Point Pleasant face each other across the Ohio River in this late 1950s survey, marking the strategic confluence where the Kanawha River meets the Ohio. The map captures a high density of civic and social infrastructure, from the Gallia Academy and the sprawling Gallipolis State Institute to the County Childrens Home. The river economy is clearly defined by navigational features like the Ice Breakers near the Gallipolis waterfront and the Gallipolis Ferry crossing to the West Virginia side.
