About this map

Anthony Creek carves a deep valley through the heart of the Monongahela National Forest, defining the settlement patterns of this border region. The 1969 data reflects a landscape of small river-bottom communities like Neola and Alvon connected by Route 92. A notable institutional presence is the Anthony Correctional Center, located near where Meadow Cr joins the main waterway.

Genealogists can find several key local landmarks, including the Little Creek Ch and the Anthony Creek Sch. The terrain is characterized by long ridges such as Beaver Lick Mountain and Falling Spring Mountain, which are crisscrossed by historical paths like the Dawson Trail and Beaver Lick Trail. Evidence of local industry and infrastructure appears in a Mine on the slopes of Beaver Lick and a Pumping Station near Alvon, while the state boundary with Virginia follows the crest of Allegheny Mountain.
