About this map

Laneville serves as a small anchor point in this high-altitude landscape where the borders of Tucker, Randolph, and Pendleton counties converge. The terrain is dominated by the massive ridge of the Allegheny Front, rising toward landmarks like Mt Porte Crayon and Green Knob. This 2023 survey illustrates a wilderness-focused geography, where ancient mountain farmsteads have largely transitioned into protected areas like the Monongahela National Forest and Dolly Sods Wilderness.

Family history is preserved through the naming of several mountain springs, such as Nelson Spring, Lee Spring, and Arbogast Farm Spring, which likely marked early homesteads. The Flanagan Memorial Cemetery sits north of the main valley, while an extensive network of footpaths including the American Discovery Trail and Roaring Plains Trail crisscrosses the high plateaus of Flatrock Plains and the Roaring Plains West Wilderness.
