1961 Map of West Milford
USGS Topo · Published 1962About this map
The West Fork River winds through this 1961 West Virginia landscape, anchoring a valley defined by the transition from rural agricultural hamlets to an active extractive economy. Coal mining is a dominant visual element, with extensive Strip Mines and numerous Oil Wells scattered across the ridges of Union and Grant districts. The settlement pattern remains deeply rooted in traditional community centers like West Milford and Goodhope, while specialized institutions like the Orphanage and the Drive-in Theater near the northern border reflect the mid-century social fabric of Harrison County.
