1960 Map of Liverpool

About this map

The Baltimore And Ohio railroad winds through the deep hollows and ridgelines of Jackson and Wirt counties, connecting small rural outposts like Liverpool and Le Roy. This 1960s landscape is defined by its intricate drainage patterns, where Sandy Creek and the Turkey Fork of the Sandy carve through steep terrain marked by named peaks such as Balls Knob and Tar Hill. The map reveals a tight-knit network of upland settlements and family-named landmarks that hint at a century of agrarian life, including several schools like Calbert Sch and McGraw Sch that once served these disparate communities.
