1933 Map of Healing Springs

About this map

Hot Springs and the surrounding resort district of Bath County are depicted in detail during the early 1930s, showing a landscape defined by steep ridges and narrow valleys. This survey, conducted by Hersey Munroe and others, captures the local infrastructure of the era, from the established resort at Healing Springs to the aviation facility at Ingalls Landing Field. The map records numerous small settlements and farmsteads like Tinkertown and Holly Hurst Farm, tucked between the prominent peaks of Warm Springs Mountain and Beards Mountain. Education and recreation are noted through the Woods Sch and Camp Kamata near the Cowpasture River. The western portion of the sheet follows the corridor of State Highway No 800, connecting rural communities like Ashwood and Midway against the backdrop of the Allegheny Mountains.
