WV 1 across the northern tier of West Virginia 1924 Official

WV 1 re-emerges from Maryland heading for Virginia 1924 Official

In 1926, WV 1 was removed from today's CR 36 from Greenwood through Duckworth and Central Station; CR 11 and CR 11/8 (no longer goes all the way to West Union). Instead WV 1 was placed on today's CR 50/30.
Also in 1926, WV 1 was placed on current US 50 east of Gormania, leaving behind a long-abandoned routing well to the north of where it crosses Difficult Run
In late 1926, WV 1 was replaced by US 50 except from Nutter Farm to Pike, which was apparently removed from the state highway system (later it did become part of US 50 but today it is CR 50/34) and Pike to Ellenboro which became an extended WV 16.
