1964 Map of Auburn

About this map

Auburn and Coxs Mills serve as central nodes in this mid-1960s landscape, where the borders of Ritchie, Doddridge, and Gilmer counties converge. The terrain is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including the Right Fork and Horn Creek, which dictate the placement of early settlements and roads. This survey documents an economy heavily reliant on natural resources, evidenced by the numerous Gas Wells and Oil Wells peppered across the ridges and hollows, such as Brake Hollow and Lick Run.
