2019 Map of Petroleum
USGS Topo · Published 2019About this map
Petroleum and Eaton occupy a landscape defined by the deep incisions of the Hughes River and Goose Creek as they wind through the borders of Wood, Ritchie, and Wirt Counties. The local topography is punctuated by landmarks such as Buzzard Rocks and Dewey Ridge, while the modern N Bend Rail-Trail follows the historic path of the railroad through this rugged section of West Virginia. The area's legacy is preserved in numerous family and community burial grounds, including the Independent Order of Odd Fellows Cem, Greenhill Catholic Cem, and Mount Carmel Cem. This region, historically connected by the Staunton Tpke, reveals a settlement pattern tied to narrow creek valleys and the early transportation corridors that once supported the local oil and gas economy.
