1906 Map of Glenwood

About this map

The Ohio River carves a deep valley between West Virginia and Ohio on this 1905-1906 survey, defining the industrial and social character of the region at the start of the twentieth century. Along the eastern bank, the Baltimore and Ohio RR tracks parallel the water, connecting riverfront landings and post offices like Chambersburg Eureka PO and Thivener PO. The map captures a landscape of small agricultural settlements and landing points such as Apple Grove, Mercers Bottom, and Ben Lomond, which relied on the river-and-rail corridor for commerce.
