1967 Map of Fairhope

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

The Baltimore and Ohio railroad cuts a vital path through the deep gaps of Allegheny Mountain and Savage Mountain on this 1967 survey. Following the winding course of Wills Creek, the rail line passes through the critical Falls Cut Tunnel near the village of Fairhope. This corridor represents a significant engineering feat of the era, where transportation infrastructure was forced to conform to the narrow valleys and steep ridges of the Somerset and Bedford County border. Small mountain communities and agricultural outposts like Glencoe, Bittners Mill, and Johnsburg dot the landscape, often centered around water sources like Brush Creek. The presence of the Union Gospel Mission at Kennells Mill and various unnamed cemeteries near Gladdens provides a clear map for genealogists tracing family histories in these remote Appalachian townships.
