About this map

Hackers Creek and its many tributaries, including Jesse Run and Rooting Creek, carve a detailed network through this portion of West Virginia where the borders of Lewis, Upshur, and Harrison counties converge. The landscape is characterized by narrow hollows and high points like Bear Knob, with small settlements such as Berlin and Aberdeen positioned along the valley floors. In the northern reaches, the dual presence of Old Johnstown Cem and New Johnstown Cem near the community of Johnstown provides a clear record of local lineage and community continuity.

Transportation patterns are defined by winding county routes that follow the water gaps, while the southern edge of the map features more modern developments including the Upshur County Regional Airport and the village of Lorentz along the corridor of Route 33. This survey captures a rural Appalachian landscape where family-named landmarks like Morrison Cem and Reger Cem remain integral to the geographical identity of the area.
