1908 Map of Point Pleasant
USGS Topo · Published 1919About this map
Point Pleasant serves as the focal point of this early 20th-century landscape, situated at the strategic confluence where the Kanawha River meets the Ohio River. The map reveals a densely settled river corridor defined by the Ohio River Div and the Kanawha and Michigan railroads, which facilitated the movement of goods between river towns like Henderson, Gallipolis, and Middleport. Beyond the floodplains, the terrain is deeply dissected by numerous creeks, including Ninemile Creek and Oldtown Creek, where small rural communities and institutions like Hickory Chapel and the Mission Ridge School took root.
