About this map

Wadestown and its surrounding communities are documented here in detail, showcasing the complex network of hollows and ridges along the Pennsylvania and West Virginia border. The map reveals a landscape defined by small settlements and numerous family and community burial grounds, such as the Old Mount Tabor Cem and Cumberledge Cem, which are vital for genealogical research in this region of Monongalia and Greene Counties.

Drainage patterns are dominated by the Pennsylvania Fork Dunkard Creek and the West Virginia Fork Dunkard Creek, which carve through the terrain near places like Jollytown and Saint Leo. Higher elevations like Efaw Knob and McFeeters Knob overlook winding rural routes such as Pumpkin Run and Sugar Run Rd, illustrating the traditional Appalachian settlement pattern where homes and roads follow the narrow valleys and ridges between larger summits like Gum Tree Hill.
