1915 Map of Meadow Creek

About this map

Sewell Mountain and the high plateaus of the central West Virginia highlands define this landscape during a period of expanding rural infrastructure. The map records a dense network of mountain communities and small post offices such as Layland P.O. and Meadowbridge Clute P.O. that served the local timber and farming families of the era. The industrial reach of the Chesapeake and Ohio River rail line is visible following the river canyons, connecting isolated stops like Meadow Creek and Sandstone to the broader regional economy.
