1887 Map of Lewisburg
USGS Topo · Published 1887About this map
Lewisburg and the winding Greenbrier River anchor this late-nineteenth-century study of the Appalachian borderlands between West Virginia and Virginia. The landscape is defined by the heavy infrastructure of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad, which pierces the continental divide through massive engineering feats like the Allegheny Tunnel, Lewis Tunnel, and Mud Tunnel. This rail corridor facilitated the growth of resort culture and industry, connecting the famous waters of White Sulphur Springs, Sweet Spring, and Sweet Chalybeate Spring to the outside world.
