2023 Map of Morgantown North

About this map

The Monongahela River serves as the central artery of this region, winding past the urban expansion of Morgantown and the educational hub of West Virginia University. The map documents the northern growth of the city through neighborhoods like Suncrest, The Flatts, and Evansdale, while the Morgantown Municipal Airport anchors the eastern heights. Further north, the landscape transitions into the hills of Baker Ridge and Chestnut Ridge, where smaller settlements like Van Voorhis and Hoard line the riverbanks. Near the Pennsylvania border, the confluence of the Cheat River and the Monongahela marks the site of Point Marion, a historic river town surrounded by numerous family and community burial grounds, including Forks of Cheat Baptist Church Cem and Point Marion Cem. The conversion of old industrial infrastructure is evident in the Mon River North Rail-Trl, which now follows the river's path through former coal and rail territory.
