About this map

McConnellsburg occupies the eastern edge of this landscape, where the valley floor meets the steep rise of Meadow Grounds Mtn. This area of Fulton County is defined by its dramatic ridges and narrow agricultural hollows, such as Lick Hollow and the drainage of Lick Run. The central portion of the map is dominated by the Meadow Grounds Lake and the long, linear peaks of Scrub Ridge and Sideling Hill. These landforms dictated the path of historical travel, funneling movement through gaps and along the base of the ridges.

Family history and community life are well-documented through a high density of rural cemeteries and churches. From the Green Hill Presbyterian Cem in the north to the Pleasant Ridge Brethren Cem in the southwest, these sites reveal the scattered nature of settlements like Andover and Harrisonville. Notable landmarks such as the Supreme Council of the House of Jacob Cem provide specific points of interest for researchers tracing the religious and social fabric of these mountain communities.
