About this map

Belington sits as the central hub of this West Virginia landscape, where the Tygart Valley River snakes through the valley floor. The map documents several vanished communities including Lehigh, McLean, and Wilmoth, providing essential data for those tracing local family lineages. Transportation patterns are defined by the river and its crossings, such as Wilmoth Ford, and the presence of the Belington Post Office marks the civic center of the region.

Upland areas are characterized by Laurel Mountain and Sand Ridge, which separate the various creek drainage basins like Glady Creek and Bills Creek. The northeast corner features the recreational waters of Teter Creek Lake, while Camp Barbour and the Laurel Run Lookout Tower indicate a landscape utilized for both forestry management and community gatherings. Numerous family-named roads, including Wolf Run Rd and Dogtown Rd, connect smaller settlements like Meadowville, Valley Bend, and Stringtown.
