1966 Map of Tioga

About this map

The Baltimore and Ohio railroad line snakes through the hollows of the central Appalachian landscape, serving industrial sites like the tipple near Tioga. This mid-1960s survey, updated in the early 1980s, illustrates a region defined by narrow valley settlements and extensive resource extraction. Industrial markers such as a Tailings Pond, a Mine Dump, and numerous gas wells appear alongside rural community fixtures, including Walnut Grove Chapel and the Boggs Cemetery. The drainage network is complex, featuring the Birch River and its many tributaries like Poplar Creek and Anthony Creek. Revisions noted in purple highlight the evolving infrastructure of the era, particularly near the Webster and Nicholas county line, where winding routes like Oldhe Road provide passage through the steep terrain of Hamilton and Glade.
