USGS Topo · Published 1960About this map
Cathedral State Park stands as a central landmark in this 1959 survey of the West Virginia highlands, where the George Washington Highway winds through the village of Aurora. The map details a landscape defined by ridge-top agriculture and deep hollows, notably along Lantz Ridge and Stemple Ridge. For the family historian, the sheet is exceptionally well-indexed with rural institutions such as the Accident School, Maple Grove Church, and several family-named burial grounds like Beachy Cemetery and Carmel Cemetery.
