1995 Map of Montrose
USGS Topo · Published 1998About this map
Leading Creek carves a central valley through this landscape, serving as the primary corridor for the town of Montrose and the community at Smith Crossing. The topography is defined by the massive ridge of Laurel Mountain, which separates the more developed creek bottoms from the high, wooded reaches of the Monongahela National Forest. Within these forest boundaries, the terrain transitions into the steep slopes of Pheasant Mountain and Cheat Mountain, where narrow drainage runs like Panther Run and Haddix Run cut through the timberland. Rural life in the mid-1990s is anchored by local landmarks such as Israel Ch and Hart Chapel, while the presence of the Elkins Speedway near Kerens and a Strip Mine on the eastern edge of the quadrangle reflect the mix of recreational and industrial land use in the region.
