USGS Topo · Published 1940About this map
Philippi serves as the focal point of this survey, situated along the winding banks of the Tygart River where the Baltimore and Ohio RR and Electric rail lines converge. The landscape is defined by the steep relief of Bear Mountain and a dense network of mountain streams like Brushy Fork and Hackers Creek. This era reveals a rural society structured around coal and rail, evidenced by junctions and post offices such as Brownton PO, Tygart Junc, and Boulder Rangoon PO.
