About this map

Backbone Mountain and the high plateaus of the Allegheny Front define this industrial and mountain landscape during the early twentieth century. The map captures the infrastructure of the timber and coal era, characterized by the extensive Lumber RR winding through the highlands and the Stony River Dam on the plateau. Along the Maryland and West Virginia border, the historic Fairfax Stone marks the headwaters of the North Branch Maryland Potomac River, surrounded by small company towns and settlements like Kempton, Wilsonia, and Dobbin.
