1961 Map of Pennsboro

About this map

Pennsboro sits as the central hub of this Ritchie County landscape, where the Baltimore and Ohio RR follows the winding path of the North Fork Hughes River. The 1961 survey reveals a territory deeply integrated with the energy industry of the era, marked by numerous Gas Wells and Oil Wells scattered across the ridges of Clay and Meade districts. The Telephone Line tracks parallel to the railroad, connecting small settlements like Toll Gate, Greenwood, and Duckworth in the southern valley.
