1944 Map of Mc Connellsburg

About this map

The high ridges of Tuscarora Mountain and Cove Mountain dominate this mid-century landscape on the border of Fulton and Franklin Counties. These massive folds of the Appalachians are largely preserved within the Buchanan State Forest, with recreational hubs like Cowan Gap Lake providing a centerpiece for the surrounding State Game Refuge. The transport network of the era is defined by U.S. 30, which winds over the peaks at Buchanan Summit and Tuscarora Summit, linking the valley floor at Mc Connellsburg with the historic community of Fort Loudon to the east.
