1914 Map of Sago

About this map

Buckhannon anchors the northwest corner of this West Virginia landscape, where the Pickens Br line of the Baltimore and Ohio RR follows the winding course of the Buckhannon River southward. The terrain is marked by a dense network of mountain hollows and ridges, supporting a surprisingly high concentration of local institutions, including the Indian Camp School, Sunny Point School, and Hanging Run School. Small settlements like Sago, Tallmansville, and Alexander serve as focal points for rural life before the heavy industrialization of the later 20th century.
