1967 Map of Newville

About this map

The winding waters of Sutton Lake and the Elk River dominate the southern landscape of this central West Virginia survey. The era is defined by the coexistence of rural mountain settlements like Newville and Bakers Run alongside the development of the U S Reservation Boundary. The rugged topography is characterized by prominent elevations such as High Knob and Ware Mtn, which separate the various forks of Saltlick Creek and the Little Kanawha River. Local history is preserved through family-named landmarks and institutions, including the Stonecoal Sch and Gibson Cem. The presence of pipelines and the Baltimore and Ohio railroad line tracing the riverbanks highlights the region's intersection of natural resources and transportation infrastructure in the late 1960s.
