About this map

The Meadowcroft Rock Shelter stands as a primary landmark in this corner of Washington County, overlooking the winding path of Cross Creek. This 2010 survey details a landscape where industrial history and rural topography intersect, characterized by the Zinc Dam Reservoir and the Bologna Industrial Rd. Local transport and infrastructure are defined by unique features like the Bixton Tunnel and Craighead Tunnel, while the former rail corridors are preserved through The Panhandle Trl.

Settlement patterns are concentrated around nodes such as Jefferson and several key post offices including Langeloth and Atlasburg. For those researching local families, the map provides precise locations for the Fairview Cemetery, West End Cemetery, and Independence Cemetery. Higher elevations like Quakers Knob and Beech Knob offer a view of the intricate network of local routes, including Strip Mine Rd and Francis Mine State Rd, which hint at the region's extractive past.
