1966 Map of Adrian

About this map

Baltimore and Ohio rail lines cut through this rugged West Virginia landscape, following the winding course of the Buckhannon River and its tributaries. The map documents an era of industrial transition, where the expansion of the Stonecoal Reservoir and numerous strip mines contrast with established crossroads like Adrian and Abbott. Local history is deeply etched into the hillsides through family-named landmarks and rural congregations, including Reger Chapel, Spruce Lick Ch, and Mt Olivie Ch.
