1967 Map of Fairhope

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Fairhope and the winding course of Wills Creek dominate this 1967 survey of the borderlands between Somerset and Bedford counties. The terrain is defined by the massive parallel ridges of Big Savage Mountain and Little Allegheny Mountain, which forced early transportation into narrow gaps. The Baltimore and Ohio railroad follows the creek bed, passing through the Falls Cut Tunnel to navigate the steep grades. Small agrarian and industrial clusters such as Bittners Mill, Glencoe, and Johnsburg are scattered along the valley floors, while the Savage Mountain Trail traces the high ridgeline. A notable local landmark, the Covered Bridge on Brush Creek, reflects the region's preservation of older engineering alongside more modern infrastructure like the Union Gospel Mission near Kennells Mill.
