1894 Map of Huntersville

About this map

Hillsboro Academy serves as a cultural anchor in this 1890s survey of the Allegheny Mountains, where the West Virginia highlands remain dominated by complex river systems and high knobs. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of the Gauley River, Williams River, and Greenbrier River, which carve deep valleys between massive ridges. Small rural settlements like Addison, Marlinton, and Huntersville are scattered across the terrain, connected by primitive trails and the natural corridors of the waterways.
