1957 Map of Petroleum
USGS Topo · Published 1977About this map
The Baltimore and Ohio railroad corridor anchors this survey of a rugged pocket of West Virginia where Wood, Wirt, and Ritchie counties meet. The landscape is defined by the early industrial history of the state, visible through the numerous Oil Wells and Gas Wells scattered among the steep ridges and narrow runs. Settlements like Volcano and Petroleum reflect the era's extraction-based economy, while rural community life is evidenced by institutions such as Progress Ridge Sch and several country churches, including Mt Zion Ch and Mt Carmel Ch.
