1908 Map of Point Pleasant
USGS Topo · Published 1920About this map
Point Pleasant and Gallipolis stand as the primary urban centers in this early 20th-century survey of the river confluence where the Kanawha River meets the Ohio River. The landscape is dominated by the strategic intersection of water and rail, with the Baltimore and Ohio RR and Kanawha and Michigan RR following the riverbanks to serve industrial and agricultural outposts like West Columbia, Spilman, and Middleport. This era shows a densely settled rural corridor punctuated by localized hubs such as Locust Lane Heights PO and several educational landmarks including Mission Ridge School and Fairview School. The map records a time when ferry crossings still bridged the state line between West Virginia and Ohio, linking settlements like Kanauga and Henderson before the widespread construction of modern highway bridges.
