About this map

Grafton and its surrounding communities are positioned along the winding Tygart Valley River, a landscape defined by significant elevation changes and deep creek valleys. This 2016 survey shows the urban cluster of South Grafton, West Grafton, and Fetterman, connected by the John F. Bennett Bridge and the Southside Bridge. The presence of numerous burial grounds, including Bluemont Cem and Mount Calvary Cem, offers significant detail for those tracking family history in the area.

Outside the central township, the map traces the northern reaches of Tygart Lake and the rugged path of the American Discovery Trail as it traverses the hills near Fall Hills. Smaller settlements such as Pruntytown, Webster, and Wendel are scattered throughout the interior, often situated near runs like Berkeley Run and Sand Lick Run. The terrain is also marked by legacy landmarks such as Browns Knob and the North Simpson Girder, providing a clear view of the Taylor County infrastructure in the early 21st century.
