2010 Map of Clearville

About this map

Cove Creek and Clear Creek wind through the valleys of Bedford County, defining a landscape marked by parallel ridges and small, dispersed settlements. This 2010 topographic survey documents the rural character of Colerain Township, where family names are etched into the geography through features like Ott Town, Koontzville, and Diehl. The terrain is dominated by prominent elevations such as Polish Mountain and Tussey Ridge, while many smaller drainage ways bear distinctive local names, including the oddly named Milk and Water Creek. Genealogists and local historians will find value in the location of the Indian Springs Cemetery near Indian Springs, as well as the network of rural roads such as Chaneysville Rd and Frame Church Rd that connect these agricultural communities. The map highlights the area's transition between wooded highlands and valley farmsteads near the village of Clearville.
