1926 Map of Parsons
USGS Topo · Published 1942About this map
The Cheat River winds through the heart of Tucker County, defining a landscape where industrial expansion and rural life met in the early 20th century. At Parsons, the confluence of river and rail provided a hub for the local timber and mining industries, while the Western Maryland Railroad carved a path through the steep terrain to reach hilltop settlements like Thomas and Coketon. The distribution of dozens of rural schoolhouses and churches, such as Holly Meadows School and Cloverdale Church, illustrates the dense network of small communities that once populated the ridges and hollows.
