Salem and Smithfield anchor this topographic study of the West Virginia interior, captured just after the turn of the century when the regional economy was defined by the Baltimore and Ohio RR. The rail corridor through the southern reaches connects industrial outposts like Industrial and Sherwood, passing through a series of steep drainages including Meathouse Fork and Buckeye Run. The map reveals a dense network of mountain post offices and small settlements such as Alvy P.O. Stringtown and Braden Sta. Lima P.O., which served the remote hollows and ridges of Doddridge, Wetzel, and Tyler counties.
