1946 Map of Wallaceton

About this map

Wallaceton sits at the heart of this post-war survey, surrounded by a dense network of small coal-era settlements and rural community hubs. The landscape is defined by the three townships of Boggs, Decatur, and Morris, where the distribution of one-room schools like the Eagle Eye Sch and Ohio Sch reflects a dispersed population in the mid-1940s. Transportation is anchored by the Moravian railroad line and a series of winding runs including Roaring Run and Little Laurel Run, which carved the narrow valleys that dictated early road and rail placement.
