1959 Map of Lead Mine

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Backbone Mountain divides this high-elevation landscape, where the headwaters of the Horseshoe Run and various mountain forks carved the terrain of the Monongahela National Forest. By the late 1950s, the southeastern corner of the map reveals a concentrated industrial and residential pocket along the Western Maryland railroad line. Here, the communities of Thomas, Coketon, and Douglas sit amidst numerous strip mines, reflecting the coal-driven economy of the era.
