2016 Map of Morgantown

About this map

Seip Mound and the surrounding Hopewell Culture National Historical Park anchor the northern landscape of this region along Paint Creek. The terrain is defined by complex ridges and family-named hollows, including Robinett Ridge and Tobacco Barn Hollow, showing a persistent pattern of rural settlement. Small hamlets like Spargursville and Nipgen are connected by a network of township roads that navigate the local heights, such as Traub Knob and Potts Hill. Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites across the landscape, from the Mount Carmel Cem near McMechen Hill to the Bond Chapel Cem in the south. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the community of Morgantown and the winding course of the Right Fork Morgan Fork, illustrating the deep-rooted upland agricultural and social character of both Ross and Pike counties.
