2019 Map of Churchville

About this map

Little North Mountain and Crawford Knob dominate the western horizon of this portion of Augusta County, where the eastern slopes of the George Washington National Forest meet the rolling valley floor. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Middle River and its numerous tributaries, including Jennings Branch and Eidson Cr. This 2019 survey documents a well-settled agricultural and residential corridor centered on Churchville and West View, connected by the historic route of the Parkersburg Tpke. The map provides significant detail for local historians, marking small communities like Lone Fountain, Swoope, and Trimbles Mill. Settlement patterns follow the water gaps and creek valleys, with several family-named landmarks and cemeteries like Hunters Cem and Green Hill Cem scattered across the rural landscape between the forested ridges and the growing residential pockets near Cedar Green and Snyder.
