1960 Map of Audra

About this map

Audra State Park forms the heart of this landscape, where the Middle Fork River joins the Tygart Valley River in a rugged display of West Virginia's Appalachian terrain. The region's industrial and social life is etched into the hills through the winding tracks of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, which services junctions at Tygart Junction and Century Junction. Rural settlements like Carrollton and Boulder reveal the era's reliance on small-scale community centers, marked by name-specific landmarks such as Mt Olivet Ch and the Rock Springs Sch. The 1970s revisions, shown in purple, highlight a shift toward resource extraction with the appearance of Strip Mines in the Barker district, while older family lineages remain grounded in cemeteries like Bethany Cem and the Radabaugh Cem near Five Forks.
