2016 Map of Martinsburg

About this map

Martinsburg and its surrounding crossroads are the focal point of this 2016 survey, where the dense street grid of neighborhoods like Irish Hill and Berkeley Place meets the winding path of Opequon Creek. The landscape is heavily marked by its religious and civic history, evidenced by a high density of burial grounds ranging from the Old German Lutheran Reformed Cem to the modern Pleasant View Memory Gardens. To the south, the Eastern WV Regional Airport/Shepherd Field occupies a large tract near the Berkeley Co Jefferson Co line, reflecting the area's role as a regional transportation hub. Smaller rural clusters such as Files Crossroad and Winebrenners Crossroad sit among the many springs and runs that feed into the larger creek system, including Couchman Springs and Van Meter Spring. This transition from an urban center to agricultural crossroads preserves the names of early settlements like Vanville and Kearneysville.
