1939 Map of White Sulphur Springs

About this map

The Greenbrier River carves a winding path through the center of this 1930s survey, anchoring the cultural and economic life of the Greenbrier Valley. In the southwest, the intersection of U. S. Route No. 60 and 219 at Lewisburg serves as the regional hub, while the Chesapeake and Ohio RR follows the riverbanks through Caldwell and Whitcomb toward Ronceverte. The landscape is densely marked with early 20th-century rural infrastructure, featuring a notable concentration of small community schools such as Salomon Springs School, Pleasant View School, and Eccles School. Beyond the valley floor, the terrain rises into the Monongahela National Forest and onto prominent ridges like Kates Mountain and Coles Mountain. The presence of Camp Alleghany and numerous churches, including Walnut Grove Church and Enon Church, reflects a well-established social network within the distinct districts of Frankford and Falling Spring.
