The Tygart River winds through the heart of Barbour County in this early 1900s survey, anchoring a landscape defined by sharp ridges and deep runs. This era shows the critical role of rail transport in the West Virginia hills, with the Baltimore and Ohio RR and Grafton and Belington RR tracing the riverbanks to serve coal and timber interests. The county seat of Philippi appears as the primary hub, surrounded by smaller coal and agricultural settlements like Berryburg, Meriden, and the industrial outpost at Century.
