About this map

Stonecoal Reservoir dominates the northwestern landscape of this West Virginia survey, its branching fingers reaching into deep drainages like Snyder Run and Beech-Lick Run. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of ridges and hollows, including Buckhannon Mtn and Mulberry Ridge, which dictate the placement of small communities and family-named landmarks. The boundary between Lewis and Upshur Counties meanders across the high ground, crossing several peaks and ridges.

Local settlements like Adrian, French Creek, and Hinkleville are connected by a web of county roads that follow the winding valley floors of Slab Camp Fork and French Creek. Genealogists will find notable points of interest such as Beechtown Cem and Slab Camp Cem, alongside small hamlets like Hoover Town and McCuetown. The presence of Helmick Spring and numerous named runs, such as Cutright Run and Bluekick Run, highlights the importance of water sources in this upland region.
