1964 Map of Big Isaac

About this map

Big Isaac serves as a central point in this mid-century look at the borderlands of Doddridge, Harrison, and Lewis counties. The landscape is defined by its dendritic drainage patterns, with settlements like Zinnia, Miletus, and Benson established along the narrow valley floors of Buckeye Creek and Kincheloe Creek. An extensive network of pipelines and numerous oil and gas wells indicate the region's long-standing reliance on resource extraction, punctuated by infrastructure like the Compressor Station near Tanner Fork.
