2019 Map of Adrian

About this map

French Creek and its surrounding hollows define the settlement patterns of this central West Virginia landscape. The map details a network of rural communities including Adrian, Frenchton, and Abbott, connected by a web of mountain roads and county routes. The terrain is dominated by the heights of Buckhannon Mtn and Mulberry Ridge, while the northern reaches are shaped by the waters of the Stonecoal Reservoir. Genealogists will find significant value in the documented locations of the Beechtown Cem and Slab Camp Cem, providing specific spatial context for family history research. Modern infrastructure is represented by the Upshur County Regional Airport near the northern boundary, illustrating the evolution of transport in a region traditionally defined by its rugged drainages like Glady Fork and Mudlick Run.
