2016 Map of Morgantown

About this map

Morgantown and the surrounding borderlands of Morgan, Brown, and Johnson counties are detailed in this 2016 survey. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Indian Creek in the north and the many small reservoirs that dot the central hills, including Weaver Lake, Autumn Lake, and Shady Oaks Lake. This era shows a transition from traditional agricultural patterns to more recreation-focused land use, visible in the numerous lakes and the presence of camps like Waycross. In the south, the map traces the Beanblossom Creek valley through Helmsburg and Beanblossom, where the terrain begins to flatten near the northern edge of Lake Lemon at Point Idalawn. Notable high points like Cooks Hill and Bear Wallow rise above the drainage basins of Pike Cr and Lick Cr, while established local landmarks like Williams Cem and the rail-aligned community of Mahalasville provide grounding for family historians.
