1905 Map of Centerpoint
USGS Topo · Published 1912About this map
The Baltimore and Ohio RR anchors the southern portion of this landscape, connecting the industrial nodes of Salem and Smithton at the turn of the century. This survey, conducted under George Otis Smith and state geologist I.C. White, reveals a densely dissected plateau where nearly every hollow and ridge bears the name of a local family or early settler. Small post offices and railway stations like Alvy P.O. Stringtown and Braden Sta. Lima P.O. illustrate the fragmented but interconnected nature of rural life before major highway development.
