2014 Map of Junior

About this map

The Tygart Valley River snakes through this high-elevation landscape on the border of Barbour and Randolph counties. This 2014 survey captures a network of small coal and rail settlements, including the dual-named Womelsdorf (Coalton) and the community of Junior. The terrain is defined by the steep rises of Rich Mtn and Laurel Mtn, with narrow valleys housing corridors like Us-250. Ge genealogists will find the Mtn View Cem north of Gage and numerous family-named landmarks, such as the Michael A Mikey Hart Bridge. The map details the complex industrial and residential layouts of Norton, Harding, and Coalton, while also identifying specific water sources like the Denver Lee Shomer Spring. From the river flats of the Tygart Valley to the secluded drainage of Broad Hollow, the map provides a contemporary record of these Appalachian mountain communities.
