About this map

Pennsboro and the winding course of the North Fork Hughes River anchor this 2011 survey of Ritchie County. The town layout is clearly defined, with the Masonic Cemetery and Broadwater Cemetery situated near the municipal center. This era shows a landscape where rural community hubs remain distinct, anchored by local institutions like the Mountain Post Office and Greenwood Post Office.

Water management and transportation define the local geography, featuring the Pennsboro Water Supply Lake and its associated dam. The map details a network of smaller settlements including Toll Gate and Duckworth, connected by an intricate system of county highways that follow the drainage patterns of Bonds Creek and Poplarlick Run. For researchers, the presence of family and community landmarks such as Burnthouse Cemetery and Buck Run Cemetery provides essential local history data.
