1925 Map of Mingo

About this map

Huntersville and the surrounding high ridges of the Allegheny Mountains define this 1920s landscape at the headwaters of the Greenbrier River. The topography is dominated by massive landforms like Gauley Mountain and Valley Mountain, which historically served as natural barriers between the drainage basins of the Gauley, Elk, and Greenbrier systems. A dense network of one-room schoolhouses, including the Hannah School, Swacker School, and Spruce School, indicates a dispersed but active rural population during the early twentieth century.
