About this map

Littleton and the surrounding highlands of the West Virginia-Pennsylvania borderlands are defined by the winding waters of the West Virginia Fork Fish Creek and Pennsylvania Fork Fish Creek. This rugged territory, shared by Wetzel and Marshall counties in West Virginia and Greene Co in Pennsylvania, is marked by significant engineering landmarks including the Board Tree Tunnel and Martin Tunnel. The settlement pattern follows narrow hollows and high ridges, with small communities like Endicott, Anthem, and Knob Fork serving as local anchors.

Numerous family and community burial grounds, such as Meadowdale Cem, Strosnider Hill Cem, and the Carney Cemeteries, provide a detailed genealogical record across the ridges. The landscape is deeply dissected by drainage systems like Hickman Run and Rocky Run, creating a complex network of high ground including Miller Ridge and Postlethwaite Ridge that historical residents navigated via roads like Co Rte 89 and the Low Gap Rocky Run trail.
