1923 Map of White Sulphur Springs

About this map

The Greenbrier River carves a dramatic path through this 1923 survey, dictating the development of transport and settlement in eastern West Virginia. The Chesapeake and Ohio RR follows the river's winding course through North Caldwell and Caldwell, while the historic Kanawha and James River Turnpike cuts across the landscape through the regional hub of Lewisburg. The map reveals a dense network of early 20th-century rural infrastructure, particularly the high concentration of one-room schoolhouses like Carroll Hill School and Gravelpoint School that served the farming communities of Frankford and Williamsburg. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of family-named landmarks and early sites such as Mathews Fort and Pilgrims Rest, alongside established towns including White Sulphur Springs and Ronceverte.
