About this map

The Tygart Valley River anchors this Barbour County landscape, winding past the established settlement of Belington. The terrain is defined by the steep rise of Laurel Mtn and the long spine of Sand Ridge, creating a network of narrow hollows like Koontz Hollow and drainages including Sugar Cr and Bills Cr. The area reflects a deep historical layering, from the Laurel Hill Confederate Grave and Old Rights Cem to modern commemorations like the Belington Veteran Memorial Bridge.

Upland life is marked by small communities such as Meadowville, Corley, and Stringtown, connected by roads like the Beverly Fairmont Pike. Local industry and infrastructure are represented by Vanoys Mill and water management features like Teter Cr Lake and the Mill Cr Reservoir. The map also documents numerous family-centric landmarks and small cemeteries, including Barbour Cem and Jerusalem Cem, providing a detailed view of the rural settlement patterns in this part of West Virginia.
