2010 Map of Glenwood

About this map

Little Cypress Creek and its many tributaries, including Rocky Branch, Clear Creek, and Glade Creek, define the drainage patterns of this Upshur County landscape. The region's mid-20th-century development is visible through several small settlements and a network of named rural roads, such as Cardinal Rd and Mockingbird Rd. Of particular interest to local historians are the numerous cemeteries that anchor the area's family histories, including Mattox Cemetery, Floyds Cemetery, and Bethlehem Cemetery. The presence of the New Diana Oil Field in the northeast and a high concentration of man-made lakes—evidenced by structures like Barton Lake Dam, McClellan Lake Dam, and Owens Lake Dam—points to a landscape significantly shaped by both the petroleum industry and local water management. The transition from older crossroads like Indian Rock and Graceton to the more structured layout of Glenwood Acres illustrates the shifting residential patterns of the early 21st century.
