About this map

Arthurdale stands as a focal point in this Preston County landscape, featuring the Arthurdale Post Office and Arthurdale Cemetery. The region is defined by its deep rail and industrial roots, evidenced by the Kingwood Tunnel and the Barlow Mine north of Squires Creek. Small settlements and historical nodes like Oriole and Towson are scattered throughout the terrain, often organized around geographical features like Irish Ridge and Chestnut Ridge.

Transport routes follow the winding path of Raccoon Creek and Fields Creek, connecting towns such as Newburg and Austen. Genealogists will find significant value in the numerous family and community burial sites, including Pratt Cemetery, Concord Cemetery, and Denver Cemetery. The presence of the B.O. Dam on Little Raccoon Creek and the Upper Deckers Creek Structure Number Six Dam reflects a landscape managed for water control and local industry during the early 21st century.
