1958 Map of Hundred
USGS Topo · Published 1960About this map
The Baltimore And Ohio railroad winds through the narrow valley of Fish Creek, serving the town of Hundred and the nearby community of Burton. In the late 1950s, this area of Wetzel County was defined by its ridge-and-hollow topography, where family names are etched into the landscape via numerous cemeteries and landmarks like Honsocker Knob and Liming Ridge. Significant local history is preserved in the locations of the Stottlemire Sch and country churches such as Thomas Chapel and Harmony Ch. The map also documents changing infrastructure, noting an Air Strip (Abandoned) and a network of pipelines traversing the hills. Small rural clusters like Cottontown, Saint Cloud, and Cusicks Crossing represent the settled character of the West Virginia and Pennsylvania borderlands during this era.
