2011 Map of Nestorville

About this map

Tygart Lake and the winding course of the Tygart River define the northern reaches of this Barbour County landscape. Historical memory is preserved through several locations noted as no longer active, including Cove Run Station, New Moatsville, and Dantown. Local commerce and community life center on Moatsville, where the Moatsville Post Office is situated near the confluence of Teter Creek and the river. Farther south, the namesake settlement of Nestorville anchors a network of rural routes that once supported a localized economy of mills and furnaces. The map identifies Vannoys Mill along Sand Run and the site of Valley Furnace in the east, reflecting the area's industrial heritage. Genealogists will find value in the placement of Fairview Cemetery, Welch Cemetery, and the Croston School, which speak to the rural social structures of the early 21st century.
