1957 Map of Petroleum
USGS Topo · Published 1958About this map
The extractive industries that fueled West Virginia’s growth are etched across this landscape, marked by clusters of Oil Wells and Gas Wells throughout the Walker and Grant districts. The Baltimore and Ohio railroad corridor serves as the primary artery of the region, passing through the Eaton Tunnel and connecting the namesake settlement of Petroleum with Eaton. This rail line follows the winding valley of Goose Creek, providing a vital link for the energy and timber resources harvested from the surrounding hills.
