2014 Map of Newburg

About this map

Arthurdale and the surrounding Preston County landscape are defined by a network of small settlements and mountain ridges. The terrain transitions from the heights of Mt Phoebe and Chestnut Ridge down into the valleys of Three Fork Creek and Raccoon Cr. This 2014 edition highlights the region's infrastructure, from the Kingwood Tunnel near Tunnelton to the Richard Taylor Bridge in Newburg. Local history is anchored by numerous family and community sites, including Browns Mill, Concord, and a series of burial grounds like Arthurdale Cem and Pratt Cem. The map also documents local aviation via Titus Field Airport and Lynn Airport. The placement of Threefork Bridge and Hiorra along the drainage of Three Fork Creek illustrates how the area's geography historically dictated the paths of transportation and community development in this part of West Virginia.
