2023 Map of Bethany
USGS Topo · Published 2023About this map
Bethany College and West Liberty University anchor this portion of the Northern Panhandle, where the West Virginia and Pennsylvania border defines the eastern edge of the landscape. The terrain is characterized by a series of prominent elevations including McAdoo Ridge, Bealls Ridge, and the curiously named Apple Pie Ridge. These ridges are separated by a dense network of watercourses and springs, such as Buffalo Creek, Grog Run, and numerous family-named water sources like Asher Childers Spring and Lee Miller Spring. Small settlements and crossroads like Potomac, McKinleyville, and Frogtown are connected by winding routes such as the Bethany Pike. Local history is preserved in several rural burial grounds, including Liberty Cem and Morgan Cem, which are situated among the many runs and creeks that feed into Short Creek to the south.
