1958 Map of Winfield

About this map

The Kanawha River dictates the settlement patterns of this West Virginia landscape, with the town of Winfield serving as a focal point along its southern banks. Significant infrastructure of the late fifties is visible, including the Winfield Lock Dam No 1 Gaging Sta and a nearby Landing Strip near Eleanor. This area, encompassing parts of Buffalo, Union, and Scott districts, shows a dense network of rural education and worship, with local landmarks like Shiloh Ch, Dunlap Chapel, and several neighborhood schools such as Robinson Sch and White Star Sch. The topography transitions from the wide Teays Valley to the prominent Cross Creek Ridge, where small communities like Fraziers Bottom and Pliny are linked by winding routes like Stave Branch Rd.
