1965 Map of Peterstown

About this map

Peterstown sits at the southern edge of this survey near the state line, where Rich Creek flows toward the New River. The mid-1960s landscape is defined by the significant reach of the Bluestone Reservoir backing up into the valley along Pipestem, creating a massive water body where the river once wound through narrow gaps. Evidence of the region’s older rural community structure remains visible through small hilltop settlements like Ballard and Cashmere, and isolated meeting points such as Thompson Chapel and Midway Ch.
