2019 Map of Keyser

About this map

Keyser serves as a focal point along the North Branch Potomac River, where the Mineral County Courthouse and Mineral County Judicial Annex anchor the civic landscape. The river boundary between West Virginia and Maryland is bridged by the Keyser McCoole Bridge and the SSGT J E Kelly Memorial Bridge, connecting the town to McCoole and the slopes of Dans Mtn. To the north and south, rural life is marked by several small family and community burial grounds, including the Poor Farm Cem, Baker Cem, and Umstot Cem. The terrain is defined by prominent ridges like Knobly Mtn and New Creek Mtn, with the American Discovery Trail winding through the valley. This landscape illustrates a transition from the dense street grid of the county seat to the agricultural and aviation uses found at Gerstell Farms Airport near Gerstell.
