Monongalia County by land and water

The Census records 5.79 square miles of water within Monongalia County, or 1.6% of its total area. That share is close to Monongalia County’s 1.6%. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.

For scale, Monongalia County has 655.9 times the land area of nearby Booth CDP (0.55 square miles). These areas describe boundaries, not comparable property prices.

The Census boundary meets Marion County, Preston County, Taylor County, Wetzel County within West Virginia. A tract near one of these lines should be matched to the county identifier on its own records.

FROM LOCAL CONTEXT TO YOUR PARCEL

Three questions for
Monongalia County land.

These starting questions follow this location’s jurisdiction, regional setting, and nearby geography. The answers come from the property itself.

01

Locate the parcel within Monongalia County

Use a tax bill, deed, or assessor’s parcel number to pin down the land in Monongalia County. The county includes 11 listed community geographies; a nearby community name does not prove the parcel is inside its limits.

02

Read the Monongahela Transition Zone setting

Monongahela Transition Zone belongs to Western Allegheny Plateau. Does the surveyed tract include valley floor, hillside or both, and how does its road access reach each portion? The wider county also reaches Central Appalachians; use the parcel’s location to choose the relevant setting.

03

Check the route, beyond Booth

Booth is 3.3 miles southeast of the Monongalia County reference point. That geographic proximity does not establish a drivable route or legal access. Which road reaches your land, and is the right to use it recorded?
