1915 Map of Hacker Valley

About this map

The Little Kanawha River winds through the northern reaches of this 1915 survey, where the Collins Settlement defines the local geography. This high-country landscape in the Allegheny Mountains is marked by an extensive network of small rural schools, reflecting a period of dispersed mountain communities before the mid-century consolidation of education. Institutions like Saffles Retreat School, Beulah School, and the remote Snuffville School served families across these ridges.
