1969 Map of Petersburg West

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

South Br Potomac River and the North Fork River converge near the established settlement of Petersburg, where the Grant Co Airport and Petersburg Fish Hatchery reflect the mid-century infrastructure of the region. The landscape is dominated by the steep ridges of Cave Mountain and Big Mountain, much of which is preserved within the Monongahela National Forest. Rural life is centered around isolated mountain gaps and small communities like Cabins, Pansy, and Landes. The map reveals a high density of country churches and small family cemeteries, such as Marvin Chapel and St Johns Ch, scattered along the drainage of Mill Creek and Johnson Run. Within the Spruce Knob-Seneca Rocks National Recreation Area, geological landmarks like Peacock Cave and Castle Rock highlight the distinctive topography of the Potomac highlands.
