1969 Map of Laneville

About this map

Allegheny Front escarpment dominates this 1969 topographic study, where the high-elevation plateaus of Flatrock Plains and Roaring Plains drop away into deep drainage basins. Small settlements like Laneville and Wolford are concentrated along the northern reach of Red Creek, which serves as a natural boundary between Tucker and Randolph counties. This area is characterized by its significant landmarks, including the high summit of Mt Porte Crayon and the distinctive Thunderstruck Rock. Local history is anchored by the Wolford Ch, Bethel Ch, and the Flanagan Memorial Cem, marking the long-standing community footprint within the Monongahela National Forest. The map captures a transition point in land use, showing a prominent pipeline corridor cutting across the high plains while large tracts are designated as the Spruce Knob-Seneca Rocks National Recreation Area.
