About this map

Majorsville and the surrounding borderlands of West Virginia and Pennsylvania are defined by a complex network of ridges and runs feeding into the Wheeling Creek watershed. The landscape is dotted with ancestral sites of interest to genealogists, including Earlywine Cemetery, Sand Hill Cemetery, and Beelers Station Cemetery. Several small settlements like Calis, Viola, and Alley Grove are linked by winding ridge roads such as Irish Ridge Rd and Dodds Ridge Rd.

The topography is punctuated by water management structures like the Wheeling Creek Structure 25 Dam and the Burch Run Lake Dam. Notable cultural landmarks include the New Vrindaban community and Harshs Sugar Camp, illustrating the diverse land use in this corner of the Appalachian plateau. The map also traces Numerous narrow waterways, such as Spottedtail Run, Stull Run, and Dunkard Fork, which have carved deep hollows like Greathouse Hollow over time.
