1961 Map of Berlin

About this map

Hackers Creek and the Buckhannon district define the topography of this Lewis County landscape during the early 1960s. The settlement at Berlin serves as a local hub near the confluence of Hackers Creek and Buckhannon Run, while to the south, Lorentz and Fink sit along the Baltimore and Ohio railroad line. The map captures a moment of active resource extraction, with numerous Strip Mine operations and Mines scattered across the ridges, particularly around Bear Knob and the northern hills.
