1961 Map of Cumberland
USGS Topo · Published 1977About this map
Cumberland sits at the convergence of several major drainages, including Collins Fork and Buffalo Fork, where the Baltimore and Ohio railroad followed the water gaps to serve this corner of Guernsey County. The landscape is defined by the heavy footprint of coal extraction, with extensive Strip Mines and industrial scarring marking the ridges of Rich Hill and Spencer. These mining operations create a stark contrast with the traditional rural infrastructure of the early 1960s, which is still visible in the form of numerous country churches and small educational sites.
