1918 Map of Richwood
USGS Topo · Published 1918About this map
Richwood stands as the industrial hub of this Nicholas County landscape, situated where the Cherry River meets the timber-heavy slopes of Big Mountain. The map illustrates a region deeply connected to the timber and rail industries, evidenced by the Cherry River Boom and Lumber Co RR and the Baltimore and Ohio RR winding through the river valleys. A dense network of community infrastructure is visible, with numerous rural educational sites including Mayflower School, Thorny Knob School, and White Buck School serving the scattered settlements.
