About this map

Morgantown and the Monongahela River corridor define the landscape of this 2016 survey, which spans the Pennsylvania and West Virginia border. The map documents the extensive campus of W Virginia Univ and the northern expansion of the city into residential districts like Suncrest and The Flats. The terrain is marked by the deep incision of the Monongahela and Cheat Rivers, with the latter broadening into Cheat Lake in the eastern portion of the quadrangle.

Transport history is visible through the conversion of former industrial corridors into recreation, such as the Mon River Rail-Trail and the Caperton Rail-Trail. Further north, the border towns of Point Marion and Dilliner sit near the confluence of the rivers, while numerous rural burying grounds like Forks of Cheat Baptist Church Cem and Fort Martin Cem offer points of interest for genealogical research in both Greene and Monongalia counties.
