1965 Map of Gassaway
USGS Topo · Published 1967About this map
The Elk River winds in deep loops through this 1965 survey, defining the industrial and social life of the Braxton County landscape. At the center of the river's largest bend, Gassaway serves as a major hub where the Baltimore and Ohio railroad follows the water's edge. The town's development is marked by local landmarks like the Bealls Mill Cem, a Drive-in Theater, and a riverside Golf Course. Downstream to the southwest, the smaller settlement of Frametown sits near the mouth of Stumble Run, illustrating how early West Virginia communities clustered at the confluence of major runs and the river.
