Buckhannon serves as the primary urban hub in this early 20th-century survey of the West Virginia highlands, where the Buckhannon River carves a winding path through the borderlands of Upshur, Randolph, and Barbour counties. The landscape is defined by a dense network of mountain communities and rural institutions, evidenced by the sheer number of schools like Mt Zion School and Hanging Rock School that served isolated hollows. Industrial activity is centered on the river corridors, with the Baltimore and Ohio and Western Maryland RR lines facilitating timber and resource extraction at sites such as Chemical and Sago.
