About this map

Dunkard Creek and its many tributaries wind through this borderland where Pennsylvania and West Virginia meet. The landscape is defined by the tight ridges of Dunkard Ridge and named heights like Sutton Knob and Higgins Knob, punctuated by small settlements and numerous family and community burial grounds. These cemeteries, including Lough-Teagarden Cordray Cem, Cedar Grove Cem, and Snider Cem, are scattered across the terrain, often near the headwaters of runs such as Dents Run and Dolls Run.

Modern infrastructure, represented by Blue Horizon Dr and the interstate, cuts through a region with deep roots in local industry and agriculture. Large water features like the Humphrey Slurry Pond and Arkwright-Sears Mud Pond near Granville point to the industrial character of the Monongalia County side of the line. From the village of Mount Morris in the north to the coal-country settlements of Osage and Pursglove in the south, the map reveals a complex network of rural roads and scattered homesites.
