About this map

Berlin and its surrounding rural uplands define this 2011 survey of Upshur County. The landscape is characterized by a dense network of waterways, including Hackers Creek and Buckhannon Run, which have historically dictated the placement of settlements and transport routes. Smaller communities like Aberdeen and Lorentz are connected by winding county highways that follow the contours of the terrain near landmarks such as Bear Knob.

Genealogists will find several burial grounds documented here, including the Old Johnstown Cemetery and New Johnstown Cemetery in the north, as well as Laurel Lick Cemetery and Reger Cemetery. In the south, Wilson Siding and Red Rock highlight the historical rail-and-road connections near Stonecoal Creek, while numerous smaller runs like Frog Run and Laurel Lick trace the intricate drainage patterns of the Appalachian Plateau.
