2011 Map of Fairmont West

About this map

The confluence of the West Fork River and the Tygart Valley River forms the Monongahela River at Fairmont, where the Million Dollar Bridge serves as a prominent crossing between the main city and Palatine. This 2011 survey reveals an intricate landscape of industrial heritage and steep terrain, with the historic mining town of Monongah situated along the West Fork River to the southwest. Educational and transportation infrastructure is well-defined, including the Fairmont State University campus and the Fairmont Municipal Airport. Numerous family and community cemeteries, such as Janes Memorial Cemetery, Nuzum Cemetery, and Evergreen Cemetery, are documented across the ridges, providing valuable geographic points for genealogical research. Residential neighborhoods like Beverly Hills and Hillcrest extend from the urban core, while the eastern edge features the Colfax settlement and its nearby Colfax Post Office.
