1921 Map of Keyser

About this map

The Potomac River and South Branch Potomac River define the winding valleys of this 1921 survey, where the Baltimore and Ohio RR follows the rugged terrain through Keyser and McCool. This era shows a landscape dense with rural infrastructure, including a remarkable concentration of local education sites such as Knobly School, Mill Dale School, and the Red Star School. The region’s economic and social hubs are clearly marked, from the industrial Ochre works and Reeses Mill to the Hampshire Club on the South Branch.
