2019 Map of Osage

About this map

Mount Morris stands as a primary crossing point on the Pennsylvania West Virginia border, where the interstate corridor follows the ancient path of Dunkard Creek. This borderlands landscape is defined by the sharp contrasts between the agricultural plateau of Dunkard Ridge and the industrial activity found along the Scotts Run valley. Settlements like Osage, Pursglove, and Cassville reveal the dense social fabric of the West Virginia coal and river country, while family legacy is preserved in numerous rural burial grounds such as the Lough-Teagarden-Cordray Cem and Barrackman Cem. Natural springs, including Wade Spring and John Petrovich Spring, mark the hillside topography that has long influenced the placement of early homesteads. Traces of historical travel are evident along the Catawba Trail, providing a clear look at how early overland routes and modern infrastructure have layered over this Greene and Monongalia county border region.
