USGS Topo · Published 1978About this map
Philippi sits at a bend in the Tygart River, serving as a central hub for this portion of Barbour County during the mid-20th century. The town's layout is anchored by Alderson-Broaddus College and the Baltimore and Ohio railroad line, which follows the river's path through the valley. The surrounding hillsides are heavily marked by extractive industry, with numerous Strip Mines and several Tipple sites connected to the rail network, illustrating the area's deep ties to coal production.
