1967 Map of Summersville

About this map

Summersville Lake dominates the central landscape of this 1967 survey, where the Gauley River is constrained by a prominent reservation boundary. The area's industrial character is defined by widespread extraction, with numerous strip mines and gas wells dotting the hills between Hookersville and Canvas. Transportation and commerce are centered on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad corridor as it follows Muddlety Creek, passing through the small community of Muddlety with its rail tipple.
