1923 Map of Pearisburg

About this map

Peters Mountain forms a massive natural barrier along the West Virginia Virginia state line in the early 1920s, anchoring the topography of this survey. The Red Sulphur District is defined by a dense network of rural infrastructure, where small settlements like Lindside and Assurance are connected by numerous local institutions. The distribution of Swope School, Rock Camp School, and Pine Grove School alongside congregations at Flatwoods Church and Brick Church illustrates the decentralized social fabric of the Appalachian ridge-and-valley landscape during this era.
