2019 Map of Belington

About this map

The Tygart Valley River flows through a landscape defined by the settlements of Belington and Philippi on this Barbour County map. The terrain rises toward Laurel Mtn on the eastern edge, with numerous named drainages like Sugar Cr and Wolf Run cutting through the ridges. The map highlights several burial grounds of significant local interest, including the Laurel Hill Confederate Cem south of Belington, and the Jerusalem Cem near the river. Transportation networks follow the river valley, with US Rte 250 connecting small communities like Valley Bend and Corley. The transition from the river flats to the high ground of Sand Ridge and Patty Flats illustrates the classic Appalachian drainage patterns that shaped early settlement in this part of West Virginia.
