1966 Map of Cowen

About this map

Cowen serves as the central hub of this mid-1960s survey, where the Baltimore and Ohio tracks weave through a landscape shaped by coal and timber. The industrial character of the era is evident in the Strip Mine operations scattered across the hills and the Gas Well sites near the settlement. Despite this heavy industry, the map preserves the details of a community connected by faith and education, marking the Little Glade Sch, Halo Ch, and Glade View Ch.
