2016 Map of Laneville

About this map

Laneville serves as a focal point for this 2016 survey of the high-altitude terrain where Tucker, Randolph, and Pendleton counties converge. The landscape is defined by the sharp rise of the Allegheny Front and the expansive plateaus of Roaring Plains and Flatrock Plains. These high-elevation features are part of the Monongahela National Forest, reaching a peak at Mt Porte Crayon. A notable pattern of land use is visible through numerous named water sources such as Wyatt Farm Spring, Hartman Farm Spring, and Arbogast Farm Spring, suggesting a history of upland agriculture and homesteading in this challenging environment. For hikers and historians, the map traces significant paths like the American Discovery Trail and Red Creek Trail, while the Flanagan Memorial Cem provides a specific genealogical anchor for the region.
