1957 Map of Petroleum

USGS Topo · Published 1991

About this map

Petroleum and Volcano anchor a landscape defined by the early industrial development of West Virginia’s oil and gas fields. The Baltimore And Ohio railroad cuts through the center of the sheet, connecting settlements like Eaton to larger markets, while numerous Oil Well and Gas Wells labels indicate the intensive resource extraction underway in the hills. The terrain is deeply dissected by a network of runs including Walker Creek, Goose Creek, and Oil Spring Run, which flow toward the Hughes River in the south.
