About this map

Schultz and the surrounding drainages of Goose Creek define this rural 1961 portrait of the West Virginia hill country. The landscape is deeply incised by countless runs, including Schultz Creek, Layfields Run, and French Creek, where small settlements like Calcutta and Henry Camp persisted along the narrow valley floors. The distribution of Cloverdale Ch and Ingram Ch suggests a community structure tied to these isolated hollows.

Evidence of the region's energy economy is visible through the network of pipelines and telephone lines that crest over Kings Ridge and Pigskin Ridge. These industrial corridors cut across the township lines of Jefferson and Grant, providing a sharp contrast to the scattered farmsteads and cemeteries that mark the area's agricultural past. The map also records the presence of a Pumping Station near the junction of Carney Run and Schultz Creek.
