2011 Map of Aurora
USGS Topo · Published 2011About this map
Aurora serves as a central hub in this high-elevation pocket of Preston County, where the settlement pattern follows the ridges and narrow valleys of the Allegheny Mountains. Established landmarks like the Aurora Post Office and Horse Shoe Run Post Office anchor a landscape defined by small rural communities and family-named terrain features such as Stemple Ridge and Shaffer Mountain. The area is notably dense with small burial grounds, including the Accident Cemetery and Beachy Cemetery, which offer valuable points of reference for genealogists studying the local families who settled along the many runs and creeks.
