2011 Map of Clarksburg

About this map

Pinnickinnick Mountain rises as a prominent landmark overlooking the industrial and residential heart of north-central West Virginia, where the West Fork River and Elk Creek converge. The landscape is a dense network of historically significant settlements such as Clarksburg, Bridgeport, and Meadowbrook, many of which grew around the region's extraction and transportation hubs. Evidence of the area's coal heritage is seen in the Lee Mine and Cook Mine, while the social fabric of the community is reflected in numerous burial grounds, including the Independent Order of Oddfellows Cemetery and Robinson Cemetery. The infrastructure of the early 21st century is well-represented, from the Bridgeport Water Supply Lake at Hinkle Lake Dam to the complex road systems of the George Washington Hwy and modern commercial centers like the Meadowbrook Mall, highlighting the shift from a resource-based economy to a modern regional center.
