About this map

Middleway and the surrounding panhandle countryside are defined by a complex network of springs and runs that once powered the local economy. The landscape is dotted with historical family-named sites, such as the Washington Burial Ground and Harewood, reflecting the deep-rooted settlement history of the region. Natural water sources like Balch Spring, Grey Spring, and Cool Spring are clustered throughout the terrain, feeding into the Bullskin Run and Evitts Run watersheds.

Industrial and residential development is evident in the eastern expansion of Charles Town and Ranson, while smaller hamlets like Leetown, Egypt, and Summit Point maintain their rural character. The map documents numerous burial sites, including the Johnsontown Cem and Cedar Grove Cem, which serve as vital landmarks for genealogists tracing early West Virginia families across the Berkeley and Jefferson County line.
