The Buckhannon River serves as the primary artery for this West Virginia landscape, winding north past the growing county seat at Buckhannon and the rail-connected settlement at Sago. In the years before World War I, the region is defined by a dense network of timber and coal-hauling lines, including the Baltimore and Ohio RR, the Coal and Coke RR, and the Alexander and Rich Mountain RR. This infrastructure supported numerous small rural communities such as Tallmansville, Ellamore, and Alexander, each anchored by essential local institutions.
