About this map

The community of Lindside sits at the foot of Little Mountain, serving as a central point in this mid-1960s survey of the West Virginia and Virginia border. The landscape is defined by the massive ridge of Peters Mountain, which forms the state boundary and the edge of the Jefferson National Forest. This high ground is traversed by the Appalachian Trail, which winds along the crest through Symms Gap.

Lower elevations show a dispersed pattern of agricultural and rural industry, including a local Fish Hatchery and limestone Quarries near Goldbond. Numerous family burial grounds, such as Karnes Cem, Brick Cem, and Swope Cem, are noted alongside rural congregations like Dry Pond Ch and Pine Grove Ch. The drainage patterns of Hans Creek and Lick Creek illustrate the dissected terrain of the Red Sulphur district, where small settlements like Assurance and Orchard are linked by winding valley roads.
