2014 Map of Philippi

About this map

The Tygart Valley River flows through the heart of this Barbour County landscape, anchored by the town of Philippi. The area's history is reflected in its crossing points, most notably the Philippi Covered Bridge and the Walnut Street Bridge connecting Mansfield and Tygart Glen. On the heights above the river, the Alderson Broaddus Coll campus overlooks the valley. The map details a transition from the structured street grids of Wellington Heights to the scattered settlements of Adaland, Berryburg, and Galloway. Genealogists will find a significant distribution of family and community burial grounds, including the Old Quaker Cem, Mt Olive Cem, and Silent Grove Cem. In the north, Pleasant Cr and Bartlett Run drain the terrain toward the Backwater of Dam, while transportation is facilitated by Us-119 250 and the Philippi/Barbour County Regional Airport.
