About this map

Clarksburg anchors this mid-1990s landscape at the confluence of the West Fork River and Elk Creek. The urban core is flanked by industrial and residential expansions like Nutter Fort and Stonewood, while the surrounding terrain remains deeply marked by the extractive industries of Harrison County. Numerous coal-related labels including Strip Mine and various oil wells are interspersed with community landmarks like Pinnickinnick Mtn and Victory High Sch.

The infrastructure reflects a century of transport history, where the Baltimore and Ohio rail lines navigate the winding river valleys alongside modern highway interchanges. Small outlying settlements such as Meadowbrook, Spelter, and Hepzibah illustrate the settlement patterns of the Upper Monongahela Valley. From the heights of Summit Park to the waters of Hinkle Lake, the map traces a transition from traditional mining and industrial works to a more diversified Appalachian regional center.
