About this map

Clarksburg serves as the focal point of this 2023 survey, showing a landscape defined by the winding West Fork River and the industrial corridors that shaped North Central West Virginia. The terrain is marked by prominent elevations like Pinnickinnick Mountain and a dense network of residential and industrial districts, including Glen Elk, Montpelier, and Broad Oaks. Civic life is centered around the Harrison County Courthouse and Harrison County Magistrate Court in the downtown area, while the city's outskirts transition into specialized communities like Industrial and Summit Park.

Beyond the urban core, the map records numerous smaller settlements such as Hepzibah, Spelter, and Meadowbrook, many of which developed alongside the coal and rail infrastructure. Evidence of this history is seen in the Lee Mine and the route of the B & O RR. For genealogists, the sheet is particularly valuable for its detail on local resting places, ranging from the Lumberport Lions Cem in the north to the Sunset Memorial Cem in the south.
