1998 Map of Hundred

About this map

The town of Hundred serves as the central hub of this northern West Virginia landscape, situated where the Virginia Line meets a complex network of waterways like Rockcamp Run and Church Fork. The map documents a rural society deeply rooted in its hollows, defined by family names and community anchors such as Thomas Chapel, Sancho Ch, and Old Harmony Ch. This 1998 inspection reveals a landscape of transition, noting an Air Strip (Abandoned) and the persistent presence of small crossroads settlements like Burton and Cottontown. The intricate drainage patterns, including Shriver Run and Bissett Run, dictate the winding paths of roads and the placement of early infrastructure like the Rush Run Sch. Spanning the border between Wetzel and Monongalia counties, the map serves as a detailed record of late-20th-century Appalachian geography before further modernization altered these valley corridors.
