1902 Map of Milton

About this map

The Chesapeake and Ohio RR corridor serves as the primary artery for trade and travel through Teays Valley, connecting the settlements of Milton and Hurricane. This era of the western Virginia hills reveals a landscape defined by sharp ridges and deep hollows, where life centered on the Mud River and Guyandot River. Early industrial and commercial hubs are visible at Howell Mill and McGhee Store, while the mineral waters of Blue Sulphur Springs suggest the region's early importance as a local destination.
