1964 Map of Smithville
USGS Topo · Published 1966About this map
Smithville sits at the junction of U S 33 and W Va 47, serving as a central hub for this portion of the West Virginia oil and gas fields. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Hughes River and its South Fork, which carve through the high ridges of Murphy, Sheridan, and De Kalb districts. This 1960s survey illustrates a rural economy deeply integrated with natural resource extraction, as evidenced by the dense concentration of Oil Wells and Gas Wells peppered across the hillsides and creek bottoms.
