USGS Topo · Published 1915About this map
The B and O RR and the Lumber RR pierce the mountainous landscape of Randolph and Upshur counties, marking an era where timber and rail shaped the West Virginia interior. This 1913 survey details the village of Pickens, a critical terminal for logging operations, alongside the nearby Swiss-German settlement of Helvetia. The topography is dominated by prominent ridges like Palace Ridge and Beech Mountain, while the Middle Fork River and Buckhannon River systems provide the primary drainage for the highland terrain.
