What the Morgan County GIS map shows about lot lines
A Morgan County GIS map is built for assessment, not construction. In Morgan County, as in most places, the lines are a best fit of old deed calls onto modern aerial photos. Rural tracts near Berkeley Springs follow metes-and-bounds calls, so their shapes on the map track creeks, roads and old fences. For rural ground near Burnt Factory, a recorded survey or a new one is the only reliable source for the true line.
Work and land use in Morgan County
The Census Bureau's County Business Patterns counted 227 business establishments in Morgan County in 2022, and the largest groups were retail trade, other services, and accommodation and food services. What stands out is accommodation (hotels, motels, RV parks and camps) and motor vehicle and parts dealers: those sectors make up a much larger slice of local businesses than they do nationally. Visitor spending across the county tends to support demand for small getaway parcels, including lots near Berkeley Springs. Keep that in mind when you compare parcels in Morgan County: who works here shapes what land sells.
Where Morgan County deeds and plats are kept

Which office that is depends on how West Virginia organizes it, so look it up on the Morgan County government site before you call.
