1969 Map of Laneville

About this map

Laneville and the winding course of Red Creek anchor this high-altitude landscape in the late 1960s, a period when local infrastructure intersected with newly established conservation areas. The map details the transition between working timberlands and protected spaces like the Dolly Sods Wilderness and Canaan Valley State Park. For genealogists and local historians, specific landmarks such as the Flanagan Memorial Cem, Welford Ch, and Bethel Ch provide physical links to the families who settled this high country.
