1976 Map of Morgantown South

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

The Monongahela River carves a dramatic path through the northwestern corner of this orthophotoquad, serving as the historical anchor for the southern reaches of Morgantown. This mid-1970s aerial perspective reveals the dense suburban development pushing eastward toward Brookhaven and Dellslow, while the southern portion of the quadrangle remains dominated by the deeply wooded ridges and valleys of Ridgedale. The imagery provides a distinct view of the evolving transportation corridor along Deckers Creek, where industry and infrastructure follow the natural contours of the West Virginia landscape. This specific survey, produced in cooperation with the Soil Conservation Service, captures the exact patterns of land use and forest cover before decades of further expansion altered these Monongalia County hillsides.
