About this map

Lindside serves as the primary community in this 1965 survey, situated within the valley between Little Mountain and Peters Mountain. The landscape is defined by its rural character and proximity to the state line, where the Jefferson National Forest spans the border between West Virginia and Virginia. Long-standing local landmarks include the Fish Hatchery and numerous country churches such as Pine Grove Ch and Coulter Chapel.

Evidence of the area's geological and industrial activity is found near Goldbond, where a Quarry and various mining operations sit along the N & W railroad line. Topographical features like Symms Gap and Dickinson Gap provided vital transit points through the ridges, while the Appalachian Trail follows the high spine of the southern mountains. The map also meticulously records family heritage through scattered cemeteries like Lively Cem and Swope Cem, providing a direct link to the region's genealogy.
