    1. [HCGS] More on Farm/Gas Company maps
    2. Most of the Farm/Gas Company maps that I have are not from the same company as those on the HCGS site. I do have two that appear to be the same as on the site. Mine are J-22 and P-18. These two maps and what I see on HCGS do not seem to match with a Geological Survey Map. My Farm/Gas maps from Clarksburg Blue Print have the following names and can be matched with the Geological Survey Maps by their name: Clarksburg Rosemont Philippi Brownton Shinnston Salem Weston West Milford Thorton Mount Clare Berlin Nestorville Century Fairmont Tanner Grafton Big Isaac Belington Audra The maps listed above were produced by Hutchinson and McCrary, Marietta, Ohio and are dated 1911. As examples: the Clarksburg Farm/Gas Map listed above shows, Clarksburg, half of Bridgeport, Grassella (Anmoore), Meadowbrook, Hepzibah, Farnum, Glen Falls, Gypsy and Saltwell. The Rosemont Farm/Gas Map shows, the other half of Bridgeport, Flemington, Tyrconne Mines, Meadland, another Hepzibah, Oreide, McAlpin, Oral, Santiago and McGee. Remember, these are farm maps and DO NOT show where people lived in a towns like Clarksburg and Bridgeport. I hope I haven't confused everyone. These are great maps and all show where people lived on farms in 1911. Some years ago I gave a set of maps for Barbour County to the Assessor's office of that county. I think they have proved to be of some value to them. Lyle Corder
