1972 Map of Hurricane

About this map

Teays Valley serves as the primary corridor for development and transport between the towns of Milton and Hurricane on this 1970s topographic record. The landscape is defined by the heavy infrastructure of Interstate 64 and the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad, which cut through the hills of Grant and Teays districts. While urban expansion is visible in purple around the major settlements, the surrounding ridges maintain a rural character, dotted with local landmarks like Redford Chapel, Signal Knob, and the Mill Creek Public Hunting Area. Genealogists and historians can trace the distribution of numerous small cemeteries and country churches such as Providence Ch and Bethany Ch. South of the valley, a network of hollows like Wolfpen Hollow and Hudson Hollow feed into the Mud River, illustrating the rugged drainage patterns of the Culloden area.
