1960 Map of Century

Transportation is dominated by the Baltimore and Ohio railroad line, which snakes through the hills to serve mining hubs like Century No 2. Along the southern edge, the Buckhannon River carves a deep loop at Millers Bend, where the settlement of Fishing Camp sits near the tracks. From the Buckhannon Memorial Cem to the family-named waters of Peeltree Creek, the map preserves a detailed record of the Appalachian plateau's mid-century social and industrial geography.
