1998 Map of Littleton

About this map

Fish Creek winds through the hills of the Northern Panhandle and North Central West Virginia, defining a landscape marked by small ridge-top settlements and narrow hollows. In this part of Wetzel Co and Marshall Co, community life is anchored by rural institutions like Miller Chapel, Kick Ridge Ch, and the Board Tree school. The map reveals a high density of family-centric landmarks, including the Jolliffee Cem, Meadowdale Cem, and Carney Cems, which offer significant value for genealogical research into the families of Littleton and surrounding hamlets like Endicott and Anthem. The terrain is characterized by prominent elevations such as Kaub Knob and Denver Heights, while the presence of Quarries and numerous unnamed wells indicates the region's reliance on extractive industries. This survey captures the traditional settlement patterns of the borderlands between West Virginia and Pennsylvania before the further modernization of the late 20th century.
