2016 Map of Avella

About this map

Pattersons Mill sits near the geographic center of this Washington County landscape, where the waters of Middle Fork Cross Cr and Cross Creek meet. The map reveals a dense network of rural roads and industrial remnants, including the Zinc Dam Reservoir near Langeloth and the sprawling residential clusters of Slovan, Atlasburg, and Avella. For genealogists and local historians, several burial grounds such as Fairview Cem and West End Cem are clearly marked alongside the small settlement of P and W Patch. Significant infrastructure is also visible, with the Bixton Tunnel and Craighead Tunnel cutting through the local ridges near Jefferson. This detailed topographical view provides a look at the modern footprint of these coal and industrial-era towns, showing how the local topography around Quakers Knob has influenced development from Burgettstown down to Rea.
