Galford Road

 


Based on the sources and conversation history, here's what is known about Galford Road:

  • Road work was progressing nicely on the new Galford Road, and it had been located and surveyed [previous turn].
  • There is a Galford Run of Williams River, 6.6 miles southeast of the Webster County line and 8 miles northwest of Marlinton.
  • There is a Galfred Ridge (3238' elevation) on the west side of the Greenbrier River, 3.2 miles northeast of Cass.
  • The sources also mention a new state road in Edray District that starts on Kee Flats, one mile southwest of Marlinton, and goes north along the Greenbrier River [previous turn].
  • The new state road cut allows a traverse northward, giving a complete thickness of the Pocono when combined with the depth of the Berea Sand in the Alexander water wells [previous turn].
  • It's not clear if Galford Road and Galfred Ridge are related to the road work on the new state road in Edray District [previous turn].
  •  The sources do not explicitly state the relationship between Galford Road and the new state road. However, the sources provide information that may suggest a connection:
  • Road Work on Galford Road: Road work was progressing nicely on the new Galford Road, and it had been located and surveyed [previous turn].
  • New State Road in Edray District: The sources mention a new state road in Edray District that starts on Kee Flats, one mile southwest of Marlinton, and goes north along the Greenbrier River [previous turn].
  • New State Road near Marlinton: The excerpt refers to State Route No. 24 (Seneca Trail) which goes through Marlinton and passes just west of Edray to Slaty Fork.
  • Road Improvements and Relocation: The state route from the Greenbrier-Pocahontas County line to Campbelltown through Hillsboro, Mill Point, Buckeye, and Marlinton, is a good paved road. The road has been relocated to ascend the steep grade just west of Campbelltown, and just south of Edray the road takes a new course, securing a much better grade by ascending Wolfpen Ridge and joining the old road at the summit.

It is possible that Galford Road is part of the "new state road" in Edray District or is connected to the improvements made on State Route 24. Without more explicit information, it's difficult to confirm the exact relationship.
