2014 Map of Berlin

About this map

Johnstown and Berlin sit within a landscape of winding hollows and ridges where the boundaries of Harrison, Lewis, and Upshur counties converge. The terrain is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including Stonecoal Cr and Hackers Cr, which have historically shaped the road patterns and small settlements like Aberdeen and Lorentz. For those tracing local families, the map identifies several burial grounds such as Old Johnstown Cem and the Morrison Cem. To the southeast, the geography transitions toward the more developed area surrounding Buckhannon, where the Upshur County Regional Airport is situated. The intricate relief, marked by features like Bear Knob and Coon Fork, reflects the classic Appalachian plateau character of north-central West Virginia.
