1887 Map of Hinton
USGS Topo · Published 1887About this map
The Greenbrier River carves a winding path through the heart of the Alleghenies in the late nineteenth century, serving as a vital corridor for both transit and trade. The Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad follows the river's tight bends, necessitating major engineering feats like the Big Bend Tunnel and Howards Creek Tunnel to navigate the ridge-heavy terrain. This survey captures a landscape transitioning into an industrial rail hub, anchored by Hinton and the Greenbrier Stock Yards.
