2017 Map of Bethany

About this map

Bethany serves as the focal point of this Harrison County landscape, where the confluence of several water systems defines the local geography. The city is positioned near the junction of Big Cr and its various tributaries, including W Fork Big Cr and E Fork Big Cr. This intricate drainage pattern is further modified by local engineering, seen in the Old Bethany City Lake and the larger New City Lake to the north. These reservoirs suggest the historical importance of water management for the growing community. Genealogists will find several small burial sites scattered across the rural sections, such as Russ Cem, Phillebaum Cem, and Dale Cem. The presence of the Bethany Memorial Airport on the eastern edge of the city illustrates the modern transition of this agricultural hub, while the dense grid of local roads like Miller St and Vandivert St provides a detailed view of the town's residential core.
