About this map

Opequon Creek meanders along the boundary of Berkeley and Jefferson Counties, anchoring a landscape defined by 18th-century land grants and small agricultural settlements in the late 1970s. The village of Middleway serves as a central hub, surrounded by family-named landmarks like Harewood and smaller hamlets such as Leetown and Summit Point. This era shows the continued importance of the Baltimore and Ohio and Norfolk and Western railroads, which cross the terrain alongside historic waterways like Turkey Run and Evitts Run.

Local infrastructure is represented by specialized facilities like the National Fish Hatchery and Research Station and the Appalachian Fruit Research Sta, highlighting the region's agricultural and scientific focus. Genealogy researchers will find several small community centers of interest, including Cedar Grove Ch, St Bartholomew Ch, and Fairview Cem, which mark the enduring presence of local congregations and family plots throughout the Middleway and Charles Town districts.
