1907 Map of Harrisville

About this map

Harrisville serves as the focal point of this 1904 survey, situated where the terrain begins its winding descent toward the multiple forks of the Hughes River. The landscape is defined by a dense network of runs and creeks, illustrating a classic Appalachian drainage pattern that dictated early settlement and industry. Transportation in the early twentieth century relied heavily on the Baltimore and Ohio RR, which cuts through the northern portion of the map near Cairo and Cornwallis.
