1891 Map of Lewisburg
USGS Topo · Published 1912About this map
Lewisburg serves as the regional hub in this late nineteenth-century survey, surrounded by a landscape defined by the winding Greenbrier River and the complex ridges of the Appalachian Mountains. The terrain dictates the path of industrial and social development, notably seen in the route of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad. This line pierces the heavy mountain barriers through engineering feats like the Alleghany Tunnel, Lewis Tunnel, and Mud Tunnel, connecting the high-altitude coal and iron interests at Stack Mines to the broader valley.
