2019 Map of Brandonville

About this map

The Pennsylvania West Virginia state line bisects this quadrangle, where the border between Fayette and Preston counties defines a landscape of high glades and winding creeks. Settlement patterns follow the valley floor of Big Sandy Creek, particularly around the historic hub of Clifton Mills and the nearby town of Brandonville. The map captures a high degree of local family-named infrastructure, with roads like Maust Rd, Rishel Rd, and George Maust reflecting deep-rooted landownership. Small community anchors are found throughout the hills, including Union Cem and Teets Cem. The southern reach is dominated by Kelley Knob, while the northern portion transitions into the wetlands known simply as the Glades. This detailed survey of the 2010s shows the persistent rural character of the region, where waterways like Glade Run and Little Sandy Creek remain the primary geographical dividers between dispersed mountain hamlets.
