1922 Map of Circleville

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

The North Fork Potomac River and South Fork Potomac River slice through the high ridges of Pendleton County, defining a landscape of isolated mountain communities and steep topography. Centered on the settlement of Circleville, the area is characterized by a dense network of one-room schoolhouses, such as Dolly School and Briery Gap School, and family-named landmarks like Judy Rocks and McCoys Mill. The presence of Moyers PO and Zigler among the peaks of Spruce Mtn and Ruleman Mountain reflects a period when these narrow valleys supported independent local economies before the full consolidation of rural services. The map also delineates early forest boundaries for the Monongahela National Forest and George Washington National Forest, marking the intersection of public conservation and private mountain farming in the early twentieth century.
