Bethany Coll and W Liberty Univ anchor the local geography of this Appalachian borderland, where the West Virginia Panhandle meets Pennsylvania. The terrain is defined by prominent high ground such as McAdoo Ridge and Apple Pie Ridge, with deep drainages like Buffalo Creek carving through the landscape. This 2016 survey documents the enduring layout of historic settlements including Bethany, West Liberty, and Potomac. Local history is preserved in numerous family and community burial grounds, such as Lower Buffalo Cem, West Liberty Cem, and Cox Cem. Significant landmarks like the Donegal Bridge and numerous named springs, including Leo Miller Spring and Harden Spring, illustrate the intersection of human infrastructure and the natural water network in Brooke, Ohio, and Washington counties.
