Pine Grove and the surrounding valley of Fishing Creek are revealed in high detail in this 1970s orthophotoquad, which uses rectified aerial imagery to show the physical layout of these Wetzel County communities. The settlement of Reader occupies a bend in the creek to the west, while Jacksonburg is situated to the southeast along the South Fork. This specific type of survey, produced in cooperation with the Soil Conservation Service, provides an unfiltered view of the land use and timber patterns across the steep, dissected ridges that define the local geography. Unlike traditional line maps, this imagery captures the exact footprints of structures and the winding path of the North Fork, documenting the footprint of these Appalachian settlements before later decades of development.
