1969 Map of Hopeville

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

The South Branch Potomac River carves a deep path through this section of the Monongahela National Forest, defining the landscape of central Grant County in the late 1960s. The topography is dominated by the massive Allegheny Front and the North Fork Mountain, between which the river snakes past geological landmarks like Seneca Rocks and Champe Rocks. Local life is anchored by small settlements such as Hopeville and Shafter, with spiritual and community centers noted at North Fork Ch and Pleasant Valley Ch. The map highlights a transition into a more recreation-focused era, marking the Spruce Knob-Seneca Rocks National Recreation Area and Smoke Hole Caverns. Evidence of high-altitude life appears at the Dolly Sods Front, while the Bell Knob Lookout Tower stands watch over the surrounding ridges and hollows.
