1921 Map of White Sulphur Springs

About this map

The Greenbrier River carves a deep, winding path through this 1921 survey, serving as the central geographic feature for the surrounding communities in Greenbrier County. The landscape is defined by the heavy presence of local education and faith, evidenced by an exceptionally high density of rural schoolhouses and churches such as Germany School, Gilboa School, and Walnut Grove Church. These small structures, many likely consisting of a single room, indicate a decentralized and community-focused settlement pattern typical of the era before the consolidation of public school districts.
