1968 Map of Beverly West

About this map

The Tygart Valley River carves a fertile corridor through Randolph County, where the historic settlement of Beverly sits at a sharp bend in the water. This survey captures the valley's mid-century transition, showing the agricultural flatlands alongside emerging industrial footprints like the Western Maryland railroad and multiple strip mines along the ridges of Rich Mountain. Local community life is well-documented through landmark structures such as the Homestead Sch, Harper Ch, and even a Drive-in Theater near Dailey. To the west, the terrain rises sharply into the Monongahela National Forest, a landscape marked by high-altitude features like the Lookout Tower and an Airway Beacon. The map traces numerous watercourses, including Roaring Cr and Cassity Fork, which historically supported the valley's timber and coal economies.
