About this map

Bowerston and Leesville anchor this 2013 topographies of the Carroll and Harrison County border, where the winding course of Conotton Creek defines the valley floor. The landscape is heavily influenced by the reservoir at Leesville Lake, which has fostered seasonal and residential clusters such as Glens Cottage Area, Pines Cottage Area, and Lakeshore Park. These modern recreational developments contrast with the area's older agricultural and small-town foundations, found in settlements like Sherrodsville and New Hagerstown.

Family history is deeply embedded in the terrain, evidenced by numerous burial grounds including Longview Cem, Palermo Cem, and the appropriately named Hill Top Cem near Plum Run. The complex drainage network, featuring McGuire Creek, Holmes Run, and Willis Run, carves through the local hills, including Tunnel Hill. This survey provides a precise look at the rural road network and township boundaries of T14N R6W and its neighbors during the early 21st century.
