About this map

The Pennsylvania railroad lines and the historic National Road anchor this industrial and agricultural landscape in Washington County. In the mid-1950s, the region was defined by its active coal industry, notably at the Ontario Mine (Active) near Cokeburg, where extensive mine dumps and an air shaft are recorded. The settlement of Marianna sits at a bend in Tenmile Creek, neighbored by East Marianna and West Zollarsville.

Educational and religious life is well-documented through numerous rural institutions such as West Bethlehem High Sch, Deemston Sch, and Mt Calvary Ch. The map traces the transition from ridge-top villages like Scenery Hill and Beallsville to the river-oriented town of North Fredericktown on the southern edge. Local genealogy is supported by various burial grounds, including St Clements Cem and the Long Farm Cem.
