1961 Map of Weston
USGS Topo · Published 1974About this map
The West Fork River winds through the heart of this Lewis County landscape, anchoring the development of Weston and its surrounding neighborhoods like Shady Brook and Kitsonville. During the early 1960s, the area's infrastructure supported both institutional and industrial needs, evidenced by the sprawling Weston State Hospital grounds and the Baltimore and Ohio railroad corridor. Aviation history is noted at Louis Bennett Field, while the energy sector is represented by the Valley Chapel Pumping Station and numerous gas wells. Local life centered around schools and spiritual centers such as Norris Sch and the McCann Run Ch. The map also details extensive cemetery records, including the Masonic Cem and Forest Lawn Mem Gardens, which offer significant value for genealogical research in this West Virginia river valley.
