1891 Map of Nicholas

USGS Topo · Published 1891

About this map

Nicholas C.h. serves as the focal point of this late 19th-century survey, which documents the complex terrain of the central West Virginia highlands before the era of modern bridges. The landscape is defined by its reliance on river crossings, with several critical transport points named, including Carnifax Ferry, Brocks Ferry, and Hughes Ferry. These ferries provided the only reliable transit across the steep river valleys that bisected the county.
