2016 Map of Valley Grove

About this map

The Erskine Covered Bridge spans Middle Wheeling Cr in this rural landscape straddling the West Virginia and Pennsylvania border. The area is defined by a dense network of springs and family-named landmarks, such as Louis Lasch Spring, John Kochy Spring, and Martin Berberich Spring, which speak to the deep agrarian roots of the community. In the more developed corridor along National Rd, the settlements of Valley Grove, Point Mills, and Triadelphia cluster near the headwaters of Little Wheeling Cr. Genealogists will find significant value in the mapped burial sites, including the West Allegheny Cem near West Alexander and the Mount View Cem at Dallas, providing a clear view of the region's established townships and long-standing family holdings during the mid-2010s.
