1929 Map of Point Pleasant
USGS Topo · Published 1929About this map
The confluence of the Ohio River and the Kanawha River anchors this 1929 survey of the borderlands between West Virginia and Ohio. This river-centered economy is visible through the concentration of industry and transport at Point Pleasant and Gallipolis, while the surrounding hills are dotted with a dense network of local institutions. The map reveals the critical role of river navigation and rail transport in the late 1920s, featuring the Hocking Valley, Baltimore and Ohio, and New York Central railroads as they parallel the major waterways.
