2011 Map of Adrian

About this map

Stonecoal Reservoir dominates the northwestern landscape of this West Virginia survey, its branching fingers reaching into the surrounding hollows near Buckhannon Mountain. The map records a rural network of small settlements and family-named landmarks characteristic of Upshur County, where the economy follows the winding paths of French Creek and Glady Fork. These communities, including Adrian, Frenchton, and the small cluster at McCuetown, are linked by a complex web of local routes like the Sago-Tallmansville road. Genealogists and local historians can locate established burial grounds such as Slab Camp Cemetery and Beechtown Cemetery, which serve the residents of outlying locales like Hoover Town and Grub Hollow. In the northeast, the Buckhannon-Upshur County Airport indicates modern connectivity, contrasting with the traditional post office at Frenchton and the long-standing creek-side hamlets of Gould and Hinkleville.
