1969 Map of Petersburg West

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

The South Branch Potomac River flows through the northern reaches of this territory, where the settlement of Petersburg sits at the junction of Johnson Run and the main river channel. In the late 1960s, this landscape was defined by the intersection of mountain ridges and narrow valleys, notably Cave Mountain and Big Mountain, which fall within the Monongahela National Forest. Small farming communities and rural centers like Cabins, Landes, and Pansy are connected by narrow roads following the creek beds, such as North Creek and Mill Creek. Local landmarks including the Petersburg Fish Hatchery and several rural churches, such as St Johns Ch and Bethel Ch, reflect the established social fabric of this Potomac Highlands region. The presence of numerous Cem labels throughout the hollows and mountain gaps provides significant evidence of family homesteads scattered across the ridges.
