About this map

Pine Grove serves as the central hub of this Wetzel County landscape, where the North Fork Fishing Creek and South Fork Fishing Creek converge. The topography is defined by high ridgelines and the winding valleys of Fishing Creek, creating a distinct pattern of settlement that clings to the narrow floodplains. To the southeast, the village of Jacksonburg is noted by the Jacksonburg Post Office, marking its importance as a local community center.

Family history is deeply embedded in the land, evident through numerous hilltop burials such as the Knights of Pythias Cemetery and Jolliffee Cemetery. Significant ridgelines like Ashland Ridge, Morgan Ridge, and McKimmie Ridge dominate the northern terrain, while the southern reaches are marked by more isolated outposts like Atwood and King. The dense network of county highways and named runs, including Shenango Creek and Reader Creek, illustrates a rural economy historically tied to these rugged corridors.
