1966 Map of Paint Bank

USGS Topo · Published 1991

About this map

The settlement of Paint Bank sits at the junction of several valley routes in the mid-1960s, marking a significant point along the Potts Creek corridor where West Virginia and Virginia meet. The landscape is defined by the massive presence of Peters Mountain and Gap Mountain, which divide the region into isolated valleys where farming and timber operations established small communities like Roxalia and Centennial. This survey identifies several religious and memorial sites central to local genealogy, including Pine Grove Ch, Cokesbury Ch, and the Mountain View Cem. Cultural history is visible in the physical geography, where an Old RR Grade follows the creek near the state line, indicating former industrial connections that supported local mining and timber extraction within the Jefferson National Forest.
