1926 Map of Weston

About this map

The West Fork Monongahela River carves a winding path through the heart of Lewis and Harrison counties, anchoring a landscape of tight ridges and narrow hollows. In this mid-1920s cultural revision, the regional importance of the Baltimore and Ohio RR is evident as it snakes alongside the river and its tributaries, connecting industrial nodes and rural depots. The presence of Jackson Mill north of Weston highlights a significant local landmark, while dozens of named schoolhouses like Mutton Town School, Sycamore Dale School, and Upper Geelick School reveal the dense, decentralized network of early 20th-century rural education. Settled communities such as Jane Lew, West Milford, and Quiet Dell sit at the junctions of ancient watercourses and developing roads, reflecting a period when small-town commerce and agriculture remained deeply tied to the valley topography.
