1893 Map of Sutton
USGS Topo · Published 1900About this map
The Little Kanawha River and Elk River wind through the heart of central West Virginia in this topographic survey from the late 19th century. This terrain is characterized by a dense network of watercourses and family-named knobs, such as Powell Knob and James Knob, which dictated the early settlement patterns of Gilmer and Braxton counties. Significant transportation infrastructure of the era is documented, including the West Virginia and Pittsburg Railroad and the Sutton Branch, which connected remote timber and coal regions to broader markets.
