1965 Map of Peterstown

Genealogists and local researchers will find significant landmarks scattered across the uplands, including Thompson Chapel, Mt Carmel Cem, and Midway Ch. Small communities such as Bozoo, Cashmere, and Ballard are connected by a network of rural roads that navigate the complex topography of Powell Mountain and Rich Mountain. This 1965 record, updated in the 1980s, documents a rural economy transitioning toward recreation and conservation, evidenced by the Bluestone State Park and the Jefferson Nat Forest.
