1908 Map of Parsons
USGS Topo · Published 1908About this map
The confluence of the Cheat River and Blackwater River anchors this 1908 topographic study of Tucker County, revealing a landscape defined by timber extraction and early industrial growth. At Parsons, the county seat, the convergence of the W M R R and various Lumber R R lines illustrates the critical role of rail transport in the regional economy. The map traces the winding paths of rivers through steep terrain, from Hannahsville in the northwest to the high ridges of Canaan Mountain and Backbone Mountain in the southeast.
