2016 Map of Greenland Gap

About this map

Greenland Gap cuts through the high ridges of the Allegheny Front, serving as a geological gateway for the drainage of the N Fork Patterson Cr and Middle Fork Patterson Cr. This modern survey illustrates a rural West Virginia landscape where historical settlement patterns at Bismarck, Scherr, and Greenland persist alongside contemporary features like Mount Storm Lake. The map reveals the intricate connection between topography and transit, tracing the American Discovery Trail as it follows the Col Lyons-Tom May Rd through the mountain passes. Local history remains visible through features like the Reel School and Brick Church Spring, situated near Cosner Gap. The terrain is dominated by prominent elevations including Knobly Mountain, New Creek Mtn, and the Fore Knobs, which dictate the winding paths of roads like Bismark Rd and Corridor H.
