1947 Map of Barton
USGS Topo · Published 1982About this map
Barton and the industrial corridor of Georges Creek define the eastern edge of this landscape, where the Western Maryland railroad served a string of mining and milling towns including Moscow, Nikep, and Morrison. Rising sharply to the west, the massive bulk of Big Savage Mountain and the Savage River State Forest dominate the terrain. This transition from the settled coal valley to the high ridges is marked by prominent landmarks like High Rock 2951 Lookout and Michaels 1880. Local spiritual and social life is anchored at Broadwater Chapel, Mt Zion Ch, and St Gabriel Ch. The map captures a moment of continued extractive industry, evidenced by a Strip Mine and the timbered heights around Savage River Lodge.
