1969 Map of Upper Tract

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

The South Branch Potomac River and the North Fork carve through the center of this landscape, framing the prominent North Fork Mountain. In the late 1960s, these river valleys remained the primary arteries for local life, connecting small communities like Upper Tract and Mouth of Seneca. The map reveals a mountain economy shaped by the topography, where farm fields are concentrated in the narrow bottomlands while the higher elevations are preserved as part of the Monongahela National Forest. Significant landmarks such as Seneca Rocks and Eagle Rock rise over the riverbanks, while the presence of the North Fork Mtn Lookout Tower highlights the ongoing importance of forest management in this era. For those tracing local history, several rural gathering places are noted, including St Georges Ch and the Seneca Rocks Sch, alongside numerous small family Cem plots that dot the ridges and hollows.
