2016 Map of Antioch

About this map

New Creek and the settlement of Antioch anchor this landscape along the eastern edge of the Allegheny Front. The terrain is defined by the sharp parallel ridges of New Creek Mtn and Knobly Mountain, where travelers have long navigated through gaps like Grayson Gap and Dolls Gap. This modern survey records a deep network of rural infrastructure, from the winding Us Rte 50 to the American Discovery Trail, which threads through Hamricks Gap and past the remote Mikes Run. Local history is preserved in numerous family burial grounds scattered across the hollows, including the Ward Cem near Claysville and the Ferree Cem tucked behind Tucker Ridge. The map also identifies significant water sources such as Mineral County Spring and Elk Garden Spring, which historically supported the valley's agrarian development.
