1958 Map of Gallipolis

About this map

The Ohio River corridor serves as the central artery for this mid-century portrait of Gallipolis and its West Virginia neighbors across the water. The landscape is defined by a dense network of industrial and civic infrastructure, where the Baltimore and Ohio and Chesapeake and Ohio railroads parallel the river's curve. In the heart of town, Gallia Academy and the sprawling Gallipolis State Institute anchor the community, while Gallipolis Island sits prominently in the channel.
