1958 Map of Osage

About this map

The West Virginia and Pennsylvania border cuts through this landscape where industrial infrastructure meets rural settlements along the Monongahela Railway. Concentrated activity is evident near the town of Osage, where a conveyor and mine dump signal the region's active extraction economy. Further north, Mount Morris sits at a bend in Dunkard Creek, surrounded by numerous family-named burial grounds like Cedar Grove Cem and Lemley Cem. The map provides an intricate look at the mid-century transition of the area, featuring modern landmarks such as a drive-in theater and Radio Station (WKKW) alongside older community foundations like Greeley Sch and Shannon Run Ch. Numerous hills and knobs, including Sutton Knob and Higgins Knob, define the high ground between the creek valleys of Scotts Run and Dolls Run.
