1954 Map of Morgantown

Beyond the river bottomlands and the Black Swamp, the topography rises into distinct ridges and hollows, such as Hagan Shanty Ridge and Stillhouse Hollow. Evidence of early industrial activity appears near the river in the form of a Strip Mine, while smaller settlements like Aberdeen, Davenport, and Leetown are connected by winding roads and a prominent Pipe Line that cuts across the southern terrain. This map documents a period when small-scale navigation and ridge-top farming still shaped the character of the Green River valley.
