1957 Map of Romance

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

The Pocatalico River carves a winding path through the heart of Kanawha County, defining a landscape of deep hollows and high ridges that shaped the development of communities like Romance and Island Branch. This mid-century survey reveals a highly decentralized rural structure, where life centered on small, family-named landmarks and institutions. Numerous churches and schools are scattered across the terrain, including Pleasant Grove Ch and the Belle Sch, serving the residents of isolated valleys such as Davis Hollow and Parsons Hollow.
