| Map of Northwestern Turnpike |
by Barr Wilson. Mr. Wilson used a copy of an 1833 map of the Clarksburg
to Parkersburg section of the road and enlarged it to scale, to a size
of 22 inches by 42 inches. The map includes portions of Harrison, Doddridge,
Ritchie and Wood Counties and includes location of Indian trails, early
county lines, other early roads, streams, etc. The society is reproducing
the map in color so it will be easier to distinguish the trails and roads
from the streams. There is also a booklet prepared by Mr. Wilson that explains
the information on the map and contains stories of early encounters with
Indians and reports other activities and events which occurred along the
Turnpike and early roads. |
