1960 Map of Kingwood
USGS Topo · Published 1978About this map
The Cheat River carves a deep valley through this Preston County landscape, serving as a corridor for the Baltimore and Ohio railroad and the National Guard Camp Dawson. In the mid-20th century, the area around the county seat of Kingwood reflects a transition between established ridge-top settlements and the expanding reach of extractive industry. Numerous labels for Strip Mines and several quarries indicate the intensive resource gathering that defined the local economy during this era.
