2022 Map of Mustoe

About this map

Lantz Mtn and Back Creek Mtn dominate this Highland County landscape, where the ridges of the Allegheny Mountains dictate the path of early settlements and roads. The map documents a rural community defined by family lineage and faith, centered around small hamlets like Mustoe and Vanderpool. Evidence of long-standing family ties is visible in the scattered burial grounds throughout the valleys, including the McNulty Family Cem, Wade Family Cem, and the lone Ruckman Grave near Lower Gap. The Jackson River flows through the eastern valley, paralleling the main thoroughfare, while the western reaches are largely preserved within the Monongahela National Forest and George Washington National Forest. Key community landmarks such as the Green Hill Methodist Church at Mill Gap and Wesley Chapel further south highlight the social anchors of this upland region.
