1918 Map of Webster Springs

About this map

Webster Springs (Addison) serves as the central hub of this 1915 survey, situated at the confluence of the Elk River and Back Fork. This mountain landscape is defined by its early 20th-century rural infrastructure, specifically a high density of neighborhood institutions like Kingfisher School, Excelsior School, and the St Marys School. The geography is dominated by long ridges and deep valleys, including Point Mountain and Buck Ridge, which hem in the river systems. Significant portions of the southeastern terrain fall within the Monongahela National Forest, illustrating the early conservation efforts in the West Virginia highlands. The map preserves the locations of local landmarks like Hanging Rock and several remote mountain schools, providing a clear view of the dispersed settlement patterns before modern road developments altered the interior access to these ridges.
