1964 Map of Cairo
USGS Topo · Published 1966About this map
Cairo serves as the focal point of this Ritchie County landscape, situated along the winding North Fork Hughes River. In the mid-1960s, the community’s connectivity is defined by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, which includes the notable Silver Run Tunnel No 19 and several stations like Silver Run Station. The region is marked by an active petroleum economy, evidenced by numerous compressor stations and wells scattered across the hills of Grant and Murphy districts. Local history is deeply etched into the topography through a high density of rural cemeteries and churches, such as the Masonic Cem, Rush Cem, and St Williams Ch. To the northeast, the early boundaries of North Bend State Park take shape, preserving the terrain where Goose Creek and Wildcat Run meet the river.
