1889 Map of Nicholas
USGS Topo · Published 1889About this map
Carnifax Ferry and other river crossings provide a critical look at the late 19th-century transportation network where the Gauley and Meadow Rivers cut through central West Virginia. This 1889 survey captures the region just before large-scale industrialization transformed its narrow valleys. The settlement pattern is defined by isolated hamlets and family-named knobs, with Beaver Mills and Hookersville serving as local nodes.
