1950 Map of Head Of Grassy

About this map

Kinniconick Creek and its many winding tributaries dictate the life and layout of this Lewis County landscape in 1950. The terrain is deeply incised by countless hollows and branches, such as Pell Hollow, Mill Hollow, and Buckner Hol, where small settlements and homesteads found level ground. Local community life is anchored by a network of rural institutions, including Blankenship Ch, Saylor Branch Ch, and several mountain schools like Mosby Sch and Raccoon Sch. The survey shows the area during a period of transition, where the Huckleberry Tower stands as a sentinel over the wooded ridges, while small hamlets like Camp Dix and the namesake Head of Grassy serve as the primary crossroads for the region's residents.
