2016 Map of Bethesda

About this map

Morristown and Bethesda anchor this central Belmont County landscape, illustrating a transition from traditional village clusters to a modern transportation corridor. The historic National Rd and the contemporary interstate route cut across the northern half of the region, passing through the high ground near Morristown. In the south, the settlement of Bethesda is defined by its namesake Bethesda Reservoir and a grid of streets that give way to winding rural routes like Twp Hwy 207. Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites across the township, including Saint Marys Cem near Lafferty and the Ebenezer Cem west of the reservoir. The terrain is marked by significant elevations such as Barkcamp Hill, which overlooks the recreation area at Belmont Lake, while numerous small waterways like McMahon Cr and Coal Run carve through the underlying topography.
