1959 Map of Lead Mine

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

Backbone Mountain and Laurel Mountain dominate this 1959 survey of the West Virginia highlands, where industrial activity and isolated mountain settlements coexist. The southeastern corner of the quadrangle reveals a concentrated corridor of extraction and transport along the North Branch Potomac River, characterized by numerous Strip Mines and the rail infrastructure of the Western Maryland railroad. Settlements such as Thomas, Benbush, and Pierce are clustered near these industrial sites, while the small community of Douglas serves the local mining population.
