1913 Map of Peterstown
USGS Topo · Published 1913About this map
Peterstown and the southern West Virginia borderlands are defined by the winding course of the New River and the rugged industrial infrastructure of the Norfolk and Western Railroad in 1913. The rail line follows the East River through the southern portion of the sheet, marked by technical landmarks like the Hales Gap Tunnel. This era shows a landscape densely populated with small rural institutions, including an unusual number of named schoolhouses such as Mudhole School, Scratch Gravel School, and Possum Hollow School, which reveal the decentralized nature of early 20th-century mountain communities.
