1957 Map of Morgantown South

About this map

Morgantown's southern expansion and industrial roots are visible in this mid-century survey, which details the city's residential districts like South Hills and Beverly Hills alongside the Monongahela River. The landscape is a complex mix of education, recreation, and industry, featuring landmarks like the 4H Club Camp and Camp Mountaineer nestled near deep-cut watercourses such as Booths Creek and Deckers Creek. The map documents a rugged topography where established neighborhoods give way to extractive land use, most notably the extensive Strip Mine operations found in the southern reaches of the quadrangle.
