Lewisburg and the surrounding Greenbrier Valley are depicted here just as the modern highway system began to overlay older routes like the James River and Kanawha Turnpike. The landscape is defined by the winding path of the Greenbrier River, which served as a vital corridor for the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad. This 1920s survey captures a dense network of rural infrastructure, including numerous one-room schoolhouses like Arbuckle School and Dansie School, alongside communal gathering places such as Walnut Grove Church. In the eastern section, the famous resort area of White Sulphur Springs is shown in detail, situated beneath the heights of Kates Mountain. This map provides a valuable record for genealogists, showing the exact placement of vanished post offices and stations like Falling Springs Remick PO and Sta and Judyton PO Keister Sta, which once anchored small mountain communities.
