1967 Map of Medley

About this map

Patterson Creek carves a deep valley between the parallel ridges of Knobly Mountain and Patterson Creek Mountain in this detailed survey. The landscape is defined by traditional Appalachian valley settlements, including Medley, Williamsport, and Lahmansville, which are connected by winding roads and old trails. Local landmarks such as St Pauls Ch and various family-named features like Harris Gap provide critical points of reference for genealogists tracking 19th-century family roots in this corner of the state. The mapping reveals the complex drainage of the North Fork and Thorn Run, showing how the rugged topography of Union Mountain influenced the development of rural crossroads like Martin and Forman.
