Big Sandy Creek winds through the heart of Preston County, carving a deep drainage system through the Appalachian plateau just south of the Pennsylvania border. In the late 1950s and early 1960s, this landscape was defined by its scattered rural communities and specialized industry. The settlement of Bruceton Mills serves as a local hub, while the nearby Old Valley Furnace points to a legacy of iron production in the region. The map reveals a transition toward modern energy extraction, evidenced by Gas Well sites on Georges Ridge and various Strip Mine operations further south.
