1926 Map of Mannington

About this map

The hills of Marion and Monongalia counties define this landscape, where the town of Mannington serves as a primary hub for a network of rural settlements. Surveyed in the early 1900s with culture updated in the 1920s, the map illustrates a transition between the coal-heavy river valleys and the upland farming communities. Notable landmarks like the Little Red Church and Blackshire Chapel are recorded alongside dozens of small schoolhouses, including Hennen School and Pawpaw School, which anchored these remote hollows.
