1944 Map of Page

About this map

Page and the surrounding rural uplands of Lewis County are defined by a network of local roads and scattered homesteads during the mid-1940s. The landscape is dotted with several rural institutions, including Maple Ridge Church and numbered schoolhouses such as School No 15 and Sch No 3, which serve the small hamlets of Wetmore, McGraw Corners, and Graves Corners. The terrain is characterized by several significant watercourses, notably Fish Creek, Roaring Brook, and Mad Creek, which carve through the wooded areas and the geologic formations of Flatrock and Keener Hill. This era shows a transition toward organized outdoor recreation with the presence of Whetstone Gulf State Park near the eastern boundary. The intricate drainage patterns of the North Branch and East Branch suggest a region shaped by its heavy woodland and water resources, providing a detailed look at the township boundaries of Martinsburg, Highmarket, and Turin at this time.
