Pickens serves as a primary rail hub for the timber and mountain communities of Randolph and Upshur counties during the early twentieth century. This survey reveals a landscape where industrial infrastructure and remote homesteads meet, anchored by the B and O RR and the Pickens and Webster Springs RR. Swiss-German heritage is evident at Helvetia, while scattered mountain schools like the Haslebacher School and Turkeybone School reflect the distributed nature of local settlement.
