1960 Map of Philippi

Rural life is documented through a dense network of family and community landmarks, from the Old Quaker Cem to one-room schoolhouses like Spawlick Sch and Fords Run Sch. The northern portion of the map shows the influence of the Tygart Lake Reservoir and Tygart Lake State Park, illustrating the mid-century development of the river for both utility and recreation. Local history researchers will find a clear record of established congregations at Marys Chapel and Hackers Creek Ch.
