1961 Map of Brownton

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Extensive strip mining activity shapes the hills of Barbour and Harrison counties during the early 1960s, a period when fossil fuel extraction dominated the local economy and landscape. The Baltimore and Ohio railroad cuts a vital path through the center of the sheet, connecting coal-rich settlements like Brownton and Galloway to broader markets. The map reveals a transition from traditional agrarian landmarks to industrial ones, where rural structures like the Covered Bridge on Brushy Fork and Trinity Ch stand in close proximity to numerous unnamed Strip Mines.
