About this map

Laneville sits at a geographic crossroads within the Monongahela National Forest, where the waters of Red Creek and Gandy Run meet. This 2019 survey documents a landscape defined by its high-elevation topography and its abundance of named springs, such as Wyatt Farm Spring, Lee Ullery Spring, and the Hartman Farm Spring. These water sources, often associated with specific families like the Penningtons and Yikums, hint at the history of high-country agriculture and homesteading along the Allegheny Front.

Navigation through this part of the West Virginia highlands is centered on a complex network of paths, including the transcontinental American Discovery Trail and local routes like the Flatrock Run Trail and Roaring Plains Trail. Higher elevations reveal notable landmarks such as Thunderstruck Rock and Mt Porte Crayon, while the Flanagan Memorial Cem provides a specific point of interest for genealogists tracing the legacy of the people who lived among these ridges and plains.
