1965 Map of Glenville
USGS Topo · Published 1978About this map
Glenville serves as the focal point of this Gilmer County landscape, where the Little Kanawha River winds past Glenville State College and the local High School. The mid-1960s economy is etched into the hillsides through numerous Strip Mine operations and a network of gas wells and pipelines, particularly concentrated near Baldwin and Truebada. The topography is defined by sharp ridges like Powell Knob and deep hollows, with the Baltimore and Ohio rail line following the river valley through Sand Fork. In the southern reaches, Cedar Creek State Park provides a large recreational footprint near Duskcamp, while local life is further evidenced by scattered landmarks like the Drive-in Theater, Fairgrounds, and the County 4H Camp. This survey documents a transition in West Virginia's interior, balancing educational growth with intensive resource extraction.
