1969 Map of Mount Nebo

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Summersville Lake and the Gauley River dominate the northern landscape of this Nicholas County region during the late 1960s and mid-1970s. The map illustrates a high concentration of rural social centers, specifically small churches and schools that anchored upland communities like Mount Nebo, Pool, and Snow Hill. Local family-named geography is prominent, seen in landmarks like Fowler Knob and Daubenspeck Knob, alongside numerous cemeteries marked simply as Cem. The presence of a Landing Strip near the lake and various campsites suggests the area's transition toward recreation, while the intricate network of watercourses including Hominy Creek, Anglins Creek, and Mouse Fork reflects the complex drainage of the Wilderness district. This survey provides a clear view of the settlement patterns before modern expansion, capturing the placement of the Mt Nebo Sch and several country chapels.
