1968 Map of Harman

About this map

DRY Fork and its numerous tributaries, including Laurel Fork and Glady Fork, carve a complex drainage network through this portion of the Monongahela National Forest. The landscape is defined by massive ridges such as Shavers Mountain and Dry Fork Mountain, where narrow valleys host isolated settlements like Harman and Jenningston. This 1960s survey illustrates a remote mountain economy centered on small-scale extraction and conservation, evidenced by a Quarry near Three Spring Run and several Gas Wells. For genealogists, the map preserves specific burial sites like Kerns Cem and White Cem, along with family-named terrain features such as Taylor Eliza Run and Coon Bone Island. The southeastern corner introduces the Spruce Knob-Seneca Rocks National Recreation Area, marking a transition toward managed federal recreation lands during the mid-20th century.
