Pocatalico West Virginia Dunbar USGS Topographic Map 1977

$30

This USGS 7.5-minute topographic map is a 1958 edition printed in 1977, with photorevisions from 1971 and 1976, and it is in very good condition – lightly handled with foldlines, and printed on thick stock. Covering a stretch of the Charleston area in West Virginia, the quad takes in parts of Kanawha and Putnam counties, with the community of Pocatalico, Cross Lanes, and Sissonville within its boundaries. The 20-foot contour interval traces the ridge-and-valley terrain of the Kanawha country north of the city, mapping the hollows and hilltops as they stood after two rounds of revision in the 1970s.

FEATURES SHOWN ON THE MAP
The Pocatalico 7.5-minute map shows cities and towns, roads, paths, railroads, utilities and energy infrastructure, rivers, creeks, elevation contour lines, public land survey lines, county, state, and other administrative boundaries as they existed at the time of the survey in 1955 through 1958. A reddish tint is used on this sheet to indicate urban areas where only landmark buildings are depicted. Outside of those areas, all known structures (houses, businesses, churches, schools, barns, cabins, etc) are shown.

A VALUABLE HISTORICAL RECORD
This map is from the 7.5-minute series, the most detailed series that is widely available from the USGS. The 1958 Pocatalico map is a valuable historical record for the area. It contains some placenames and features that have been dropped from more recent maps.

The map was photorevised in 1971 and 1976. Any features that changed or were added between the original edition year of 1958 and the photorevision year of 1971 and 1976 are overlayed in purple. The purple overlay provides an excellent view of the fast-growing and changing areas within the quad boundary.
