About this map

Belington and the Tygart Valley River corridor define this 2014 landscape, where the deep history of West Virginia's Highlands remains visible in the terrain. The map records several notable commemorative sites, including the Belington Veteran Memorial Bridge and the Laurel Hill Confederate Grave near the Barbour Co Randolph Co line, reflecting the area's strategic importance.

A network of local roads and creek valleys connects established settlements like Meadowville, Philippi, and Alston. From the elevations of Laurel Mtn and Sand Ridge to the waters of Teter Lake, the map captures a rural geography shaped by both its mountain geography and its historical passage points, such as Wilmoth Ford on the river. Family and community heritage is anchored by sites like Jerusalem Cem and Old Rights Cem, providing specific points of interest for genealogical research.
