About this map

Knobly Mountain and New Creek Mountain dominate this part of Grant County, creating a series of dramatic gaps where local waters have carved through the ridge. Significant natural passages like Kline Gap, Real Gap, and Robinson Gap provided essential travel corridors for early settlers navigating this upland terrain. Along the eastern edge, the settlement of Maysville sits near Mays Gap, while the southern border captures the outskirts of Petersburg near the South Br Potomac River.

The mid-century social fabric of the area is visible through its rural institutions, including Harmony Ch and Mt Hebron Ch, alongside modern developments like the Drive-in Theater and Hospital near Town Hill. Much of the western half of the map falls within the Monongahela National Forest, illustrating the conservation of the high ridges as the surrounding valleys continued to support small agricultural communities and local industry, such as the Quarry near Streby.
