1905 Map of Littleton

About this map

Fishing Creek and its many winding tributaries like Hartley Run and Honey Creek carve through the deep ridges of Wetzel County in the years following the turn of the century. The Baltimore and Ohio railroad corridor provides a vital transportation link in the northeast, connecting the settlement of Littleton to the surrounding hills. This survey records a dense network of upland communities and post offices, such as Mohr P.O. Barker and Silver Hill, which were then active hubs for the local rural population. The landscape is defined by its extreme relief, where narrow valley floors host hamlets like Wileyville and Halls Mills while high points like Owlshead and Springhill watch over the complex drainage patterns of the Marshall and Greene county borderlands.
