1972 Map of Lewisburg

About this map

The Greenbrier River defines the southern landscape of this 1972 survey, winding past the settlements of North Caldwell and Caldwell as it flows toward Ronceverte. The commercial and cultural heart of the region is centered on Lewisburg, where the town’s red-tinted urban core includes the local Library and the Greenbrier Training Center. The era’s transportation and recreation patterns are visible in the layout of the Greenbrier Valley Airport and the nearby Golf Course, while the northern hills hide the Lost World Caverns. Significant local landmarks like the Fairgrounds near Fairlea and the Arbuckle School serve as vital community anchors. The rail corridor of the Chesapeake and Ohio follows the riverbank, illustrating the historical reliance on this water-level route for regional transit and industry during the early 1970s.
