1949 Map of Millboro

About this map

Long Dale Furnace stands along Simpson Creek, a remnant of the region's industrial heritage in this mid-century survey of the Appalachian ridges. The Chesapeake and Ohio railroad corridor dominates the landscape, featuring engineered landmarks like the Lick Run Tunnel and Mason Tunnel to navigate the steep terrain between Millboro and Goshen. The map captures a transition in public land management, showing the boundaries between the George Washington National Forest and Jefferson National Forest as they stood in the late 1940s.
