About this map

The Gauley River and its major tributaries, the Cherry River and Cranberry River, carve through this central West Virginia landscape at the dawn of the twentieth century. The W. Va. and Pitts. R.R. follows the riverbanks through Camden on Gauley, marking the era's vital rail-and-timber connection. The map reveals an intricate network of river crossings essential for local travel before modern infrastructure, including the Cranberry Ferry Ford, Shawver Bridge, and Hughes Ferry.
