About this map

Martinsburg serves as the focal point of this Eastern Panhandle survey, showing a landscape defined by its historic cemeteries and the winding course of Opequon Creek. The area’s deep roots are visible in sites such as the Old German Lutheran Reformed Cem and Providence Quaker Cem, reflecting the diverse denominational history of Berkeley County. While the city exhibits modern growth around the Eastern WV Regional Airport/Shepherd Field, many surrounding hamlets like Grubbs Corner, Files Crossroad, and Van Clevesville retain their early crossroads character.

The presence of numerous family-named landmarks, such as the James M Vain Metre Cem and Van Meter Spring, provides invaluable detail for genealogists tracing ancestral landholdings. To the south, the boundary between Berkeley and Jefferson counties cuts through the landscape near Kearneysville, while landmarks like the Ford Stone Bridge and War Memorial Park Bridge highlight the region's enduring transportation infrastructure.
