The Fairfax Stone marks the historical starting point for this 1916 survey, a crucial monument defining the boundary between Maryland and West Virginia. This region of the Allegheny plateau is defined by the winding Blackwater River and its numerous tributaries, including Pendleton Creek and Beaver Creek. The landscape reveals a burgeoning industrial economy driven by timber and coal, with the W MD RR and extensive Lumber RR lines threading through the valley to serve the established centers of Thomas and Davis.
