2019 Map of Morgantown South

About this map

Morgantown and its southern suburbs occupy the steep, dissected terrain along the Monongahela River, where modern recreational corridors like the Mon River S Rail-Trail and the Caperton Rail-Trail trace the paths of former industrial transport. The landscape is dotted with historical markers of early settlement and industry, such as Clinton Furnace and the Corporal Thomas Bennett Bridge. To the south and east, the map reveals a complex network of small hollows and ridges defined by Booths Creek, Cobun Creek, and Deckers Creek, providing a detailed look at the geography surrounding landmarks like Dorsey Knob and Raven Rock. Genealogists will find a high density of burial grounds throughout the area, from large established sites like Oak Grove Cemetery and Lawnwood Cemetery to smaller rural plots including McBee Cemetery and Summers Cemetery.
