2019 Map of Newburg

About this map

Arthurdale stands as a focal point in this Preston County landscape, reflecting its historical significance as a planned New Deal community. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainage systems, including Three Fork Creek and Fields Creek, which carve through the ridges and hollows. Transportation history is visible in the corridor of the WV Northern Rail-Trail, which traces the paths once vital to local industry. Significant engineering is noted near the southern border at the Kingwood Tunnel near Tunnelton. Genealogists will find a wealth of local landmarks such as Pratt Cemetery and Concord Cemetery, alongside smaller settlements like Browns Mill and Hiorra. The map also documents industrial activity through the Barlow Mine and local aviation at Lynn Airport, showing how the area balances small-town residence with rugged Appalachian geography.
