2019 Map of Masontown

About this map

The Arthurdale community and the industrial corridor of the Deckers Creek Rail-Trail define this West Virginia landscape where Preston Co meets Monongalia Co. This terrain is deeply etched by the Cheat River and Deckers Cr, supporting a string of settlements including Masontown, Reedsville, and Bretz. The map documents a complex mix of historic infrastructure and natural features, from the Miller Mine and the Town of Masontown Water Supply Lake to family-named landmarks like Dunn Cemetery and Sturgis Church. Significant topographical features such as Beaverhole and the Greens Run Long Hollow emphasize the steep relief characteristic of the region. The map preserves the modern state of local transit and land use, showing how old industrial routes have evolved into recreational paths while maintaining the core settlement patterns of the local mountain towns.
