About this map

The Monongahela River winds through this region of West Virginia, serving as a central corridor for a string of industrial and residential settlements. The map highlights the intersection of natural resources and infrastructure, featuring significant land use markers like the Everettville Refuse Embankment Dam and the Loar Acid Mine Drainage Treatment Lake. Small communities such as Arnettsville, Booth, and Everettville are dispersed along the river valleys and ridge lines, often centered around local services like the Booth Post Office or Montana Mines Post Office.

Genealogists and local historians will find value in the documentation of several family-named landmarks and resting places, including the Snider Cemetery, Arnettsville Cemetery, and Prickett Cemetery. The landscape is further defined by its hydrology, with numerous named springs such as Baker Spring and Arnett Spring feeding into tributaries like White Day Creek and Little Indian Creek. This survey provides a clear view of the rural and industrial character of the area south of the Pennsylvania border.
