About this map

North Mountain dominates this portion of Berkeley County, creating a sharp geological divide between the agricultural lowlands to the east and the ridges of Leading Ridge to the west. In the early 1970s, the Penn Central railroad served as a vital corridor for the eastern valley, connecting Tablers Station and the settlement of Darkesville. The landscape reveals a dense network of local landmarks, including Valley View Sch and numerous country congregations like Pitzers Chapel and Salem Ch.

Water plays a central role in the area's layout, with the winding course of Back Creek cutting through the center of the map while Middle Creek and Tuscarora Creek drain the eastern slopes. Near the railroad at Tablers Station, the presence of Industrial Waste Ponds and large Water Tanks points to the industrial activity of the era, contrasting with the recreational and spiritual sites like Camp Tomahawk and the Mountain Side Tabernacle.
