About this map

Martinsburg and its surrounding Berkeley County landscape are defined by a complex network of springs and limestone-influenced drainage. The area's deep history is legible through numerous family and denominational burial grounds, ranging from the Providence Quaker Cem and Saint Josephs Cem to the Old Norbourne Cem. Small outlying communities like Files Crossroad and Grubbs Corner maintain their distinct identities even as the regional footprint of the Eastern WV Regional Airport/Shepherd Field expands.

Hydrological features are central to the settlement pattern, with Opequon Creek carving a winding path through the eastern half of the quadrangle. The Martinsburg Water Supply Spring and Kilmer Spring highlight the historical importance of these natural water sources to the town's development. Notable infrastructure like the Clarence E Martin Junior Bridge and the War Memorial Park Bridge facilitate modern transit across the rugged limestone runs.
