USGS Topo · Published 1998About this map
The Cheat River carves a deep, winding path through Preston County, dictating the development of the valley’s towns and industry. Along its banks, the town of Rowlesburg serves as a central hub, where the Baltimore and Ohio railroad follows the water's edge through steep terrain. The industrial footprint is evident at Manheim and nearby mines, while the agricultural and spiritual life of the mountain ridges is marked by isolated landmarks like Mt Sarah Ch and Victory Ch.
