1966 Map of Jerrys Run

About this map

Chesapeake and Ohio railroad infrastructure dominates the southern reaches of this mid-1960s survey along the state line. The engineering complexity of the era is evident through a series of significant subterranean works, including Moore Tunnel, Lakes Tunnel, and the Lewis Tunnels, which allow the rail line to navigate the heavy relief of Backbone and Hardy Mountain. The landscape is largely defined by the high ridges of the Monongahela National Forest and the White Sulphur National Forest, where a network of trails and jeep paths connects remote elevations like Hickory Knob and Smith Knob.
