1961 Map of Fairview

About this map

The boundary between Guernsey Co and Belmont Co cuts through this landscape of deep-set valleys and industrial land use as it appeared in the early 1960s. The settlement of Fairview sits at the junction of Route 40, serving as a central point between Sewellsville to the north and the crossroads at Hendrysburg. Extensive extractive operations are evident across the terrain, with numerous Strip Mine sites and a prominent Lookout Tower overlooking the ridges near the Cabinet settlement.
