1901 Map of Nicholas

USGS Topo · Published 1912

About this map

Deep river valleys and high ridges characterize this central West Virginia landscape as it appeared just before the turn of the century. The Gauley River and Meadow River carve winding paths through the terrain, historically navigated by river crossings such as Carnifix Ferry and Brock's Ferry. The settlement of Summersville Town serves as a central hub, while the emerging industrial presence of Richwood and Camden on Gauley hints at the timber and resource extraction beginning to reshape the region.
