2013 Map of Morgantown

About this map

Hopewell Culture National Historical Park anchors the northern reaches of this Pike and Ross County borderland, preserving the ancient Seip Mound near the banks of Paint Creek. The landscape is defined by a dense network of ridges and hollows, where family-named landmarks like Eggleson Ridge, McMechen Hill, and Alexander Hollow illustrate the rugged geography of the region. This 2013 survey provides a detailed view of small rural communities and crossroad settlements such as Morgantown, Spargursville, and Nipgen, many of which grew around early transportation routes and water sources like Sulphur Lick and Morgans Fork Rd.
