1907 Map of Claysville

About this map

The National Pike and the Wheeling and Pittsburg Pike converge in this early-century survey of Washington County, illustrating the transition from historic overland trails to a landscape dominated by the Baltimore and Ohio RR. The village of Claysville serves as a central hub, while the presence of the Vienna Coon Island PO and Taylorstown Sta highlights the localized post office and rail networks of the era. The hillsides are dotted with numerous one-room schoolhouses, such as the Stony Point Schoolhouse and Hair Schoolhouse, alongside rural congregations like North Buffalo Church. Industrial activity is concentrated at Arden Mines and along the Electric RR near Washington, where the terrain begins to shift from agricultural valleys into more developed township centers. Genealogists will find interest in family-named landmarks like Mosier Hill and the series of reservoirs serving the growing population centers.
