1960 Map of Thomas

About this map

The community of Thomas and the surrounding Upshur County landscape are characterized by a network of small family-centered settlements and rural institutions in the early 1960s. The geography is defined by the drainage patterns of Prairie Creek and Little Cypress Creek, which create a series of low ridges where many of the area’s historically significant structures are located. Local life centers on landmarks such as Soules Chapel, Enon Ch, and the Harmony Sch, reflecting a post-war era of established rural communities before significant modern consolidation.
