1995 Map of Maysville

About this map

Knobly Mountain dominates the western half of this Grant County landscape, providing a formidable geological backdrop to the valley communities. In the mid-1990s, the rural character of the region remains intact, anchored by Maysville at the junction of the North Fork and South Fork of Lunice Creek. The map reveals a community defined by its proximity to the Monongahela National Forest and the Spruce Knob - Seneca Rocks Recreation Area to the south. Local landmarks like the Gospel Tabernacle and Harmony Ch provide touchpoints for genealogists, while more modern developments such as the Drive-in Theater near Petersburg indicate shifting local leisure patterns. Narrow gaps like Real Gap and Kline Gap serve as the primary conduits through the ridges, concentrating historical travel and settlement along their routes.
