About this map

New Milton serves as a central hub in this mid-1960s portrait of north-central West Virginia, where the winding waters of Meathouse Fork and Middle Island Creek dictate the layout of rural life. The landscape is defined by its social infrastructure, featuring local landmarks like Middle Island Sch and the Locust Grove Ch. Small communities such as Middle Point, Market, and Avon are connected by narrow roads and jeep trails that follow the deep valleys of Wolfpen Run and Redlick Run.

Industrial activity is evidenced by a Quarry and numerous gas and oil wells peppered throughout the hills, while the Doddridge and Lewis County boundary cuts through the southeastern corner. Religious and memorial sites are frequent, including Union Mission Ch, St Johannes Ch, and the Redemption Cem, reflecting the deep-rooted community ties of the area during this era of resource extraction and hillside farming.
