1961 Map of Cedar Point

About this map

McElroy Creek winds through this section of Doddridge and Tyler Counties, defining a landscape where narrow valleys dictate the pattern of settlement and travel. Small communities such as Center Point and Braden (Lima PO) are connected by winding roads that track the water, including the Pike following the Talkington Fork. The area is heavily marked by the region's energy economy, with numerous Gas Wells, a Compressor Sta, and a Pumping Sta situated among the ridges. Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the placement of family and community landmarks, such as the Underwood Cem and Parks Cem, alongside rural spiritual centers like Bethel Chapel and Walnut Fork Ch. The northern portion transitions into the Lewis Wetzel Public Hunting Area, while a Covered Bridge near Center Point stands as a notable architectural landmark of the era.
