2019 Map of Antioch

About this map

Allegheny Front and New Creek Mountain dominate the topography of this section of West Virginia, where the border between Mineral County and Grant County follows the high ridges. Small settlements like Laurel Dale and Antioch are established in the lowlands, connected by historic routes such as US Route 50 and Knobley Road. The landscape is dotted with numerous family and community burial grounds, including Knobley Cemetery and Thrush Cemetery, which provide significant points of interest for genealogical research. Natural springs, such as Miller Farm Spring and Lemons Spring, define the water sources of these mountain valleys, while prominent gaps like Dolls Gap and Hamricks Gap mark the traditional passage points through the steep terrain. The presence of the American Discovery Trail highlights the modern use of these older surveying corridors.
