1907 Map of Belington

About this map

The Tygart River winds through the heart of this Appalachian landscape, serving as a corridor for the Baltimore and Ohio RR as it passes through Belington. This early twentieth-century survey captures a network of small, rural post office settlements and rail stations that defined the local economy before modern consolidation. Significant for family historians, the map identifies specific community hubs like Cove Run Sta Johnson PO and Montsville Sta Nicklow PO, where commerce and communication intersected at the tracks.
