1957 Map of Kanawha
USGS Topo · Published 1958About this map
The Little Kanawha River carves a winding path through this portion of Wood County, creating prominent topographical landmarks like the Butcher Bend and Butcher Hill. During the mid-1950s, this landscape was defined by the industrial presence of numerous oil wells scattered among the ridges and the critical transportation corridor of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. Small rural hubs such as Kanawha Station and Leachtown served the local community, which was well-supported by several country churches including Kanawha Chapel and Vaught Chapel.
