About this map

Charles Town and the neighboring settlements of Middleway and Ranson anchor this 2019 survey of the Jefferson County landscape. The area is defined by its deep historical roots, evidenced by the Washington Burial Ground and the numerous named springs that dot the terrain, including Washington Spring, Piedmont Farm Spring, and Claymont Springs. These water sources historically sustained the farmsteads and early communities situated along the Berkeley and Jefferson County line.

Transport and topography are intertwined here, with Opequon Creek and Evitts Run carving paths through the countryside. Smaller hamlets like Summit Point, Leetown, and Egypt appear alongside established family landmarks and cemeteries such as Cedar Grove Cem and Johnsontown Cem. The map provides a contemporary view of the region's rural character, showing the distribution of modern subdivisions and estates against a backdrop of historic farm names and traditional routes like the Middleway Pike.
