1960 Map of Glover Gap
USGS Topo · Published 1965About this map
The Baltimore and Ohio railroad threads through the northern hills of Marion and Wetzel Counties, marking the industrial pulse of this 1960 landscape. Centered on the settlement of Glover Gap, the map reveals a countryside defined by deep hollows and numerous small family cemeteries, such as Carpenter Cem and Shaffer Cem, which anchor the ridge tops. The region is heavily marked by energy extraction, with a dense network of gas wells and major pipelines crossing the drainage of Buffalo Creek and Dents Run. Rural community life is visible in the scattered placement of the Glover Gap Sch and several country churches like Myers Chapel and Evergreen Ch. This survey provides a precise record of the upland Appalachian terrain before modern consolidation altered many of these small-scale farming and resource-extraction patterns.
