1927 Map of Belington

About this map

Belington serves as the focal point for this survey of north-central West Virginia, where the Tigart River carves through the landscape. The region's early 20th-century character is defined by a dense network of country schools and small settlements like Nestorville and Kalamazoo. The industrial and agricultural foundations of the era are evident in features such as Vannoys Mill and Valley Furnace, while the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad and the Western Maryland Railroad provide the vital transport links along the river valleys.
