About this map

Brandonville and the surrounding borderlands of West Virginia and Pennsylvania define this topographic study, where the Appalachian landscape is etched by a network of creeks and small farming settlements. The map centers on the northern edge of Preston County, showing the proximity of Hazelton and Clifton Mills to the historic Pennsylvania West Virginia state line. The terrain is marked by prominent elevations like Kelley Knob and a dense hydrography of runs and creeks, including Little Sandy Creek and Big Sandy Creek.

Genealogists and local historians can locate established landmarks such as Union Cemetery and Pleasant Grove Cemetery, which sit alongside historic transit corridors like Mason-Dixon Road. The persistence of small hamlets like Glade Farms and Gibbon Glade among the timbered ridges illustrates the long-standing rural character of the region, maintained even as modern infrastructure like Route 68 traverses the landscape.
