Collection: West Virginia

Mountainous and rugged, West Virginia joined the Union in 1863 during the Civil War, separating from Virginia. Covering ~62,756 km², it is defined by Appalachian terrain and deep valleys. Landmarks such as New River Gorge, Appalachian Mountains, and scenic byways create textured compositions, while its mountain-dominated landscape sets it apart. No U.S. president originates here, yet its layered terrain suits bold travel poster designs.
