1998 Map of Stotlers Crossroads

About this map

Sleepy Creek carves a winding path through this portion of Morgan County, defining the valley between Pious Ridge and the forested slopes of Third Hill Mountain. The landscape in the late 1990s remained primarily rural, with small communities like Stotlers Crossroads and Johnsons Mill serving as local anchors. A cluster of historic religious and educational sites, including Ambrose Chapel and the Highland School, suggests a long-standing pattern of dispersed mountain settlements. Near Berkeley Springs, the presence of a Drive-in Theater and a local Substation reflects the gradual modernization of the corridor along Warm Spring Run. Much of the eastern terrain is dedicated to the Sleepy Creek Wildlife Management Area, where the Sleepy Creek Lookout Tower stands atop the ridge, overlooking the drainage of Meadow Branch.
