USGS Topo · Published 1942About this map
Morgantown serves as the industrial and transport hub of this Monongalia County landscape, situated at a major bend in the Monongahela River. The map reveals a region transitioning from early iron production to a rail-centered economy, evidenced by the presence of the Clay Furnace, Clinton Furnace, and Laurel Iron Works alongside the expanding tracks of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. Settlements like Star City, Westover, and Sturgiss City show the early 20th-century footprint of urban growth.
