1922 Map of Keyser

About this map

Patterson Creek carves a central valley through this 1920s Appalachian landscape, serving as a corridor for dozens of rural schools and small settlements. The area is defined by the steep ridges of Knobby Mountain and Mill Creek Mountain, which hem in the agricultural and transport networks of Mineral and Hampshire counties. High-altitude landmarks like Slate Lick Knob overlook a dense network of country schools, including the Eureka School and Red Star School, reflecting the decentralized community structure of the era.
