About this map

Stonecoal Reservoir dominates the northwestern landscape of this central West Virginia survey, where the waters of Stonecoal Cr are impounded within a series of deep, narrow valleys. The terrain is defined by steep ridges such as Buckhannon Mtn and Mulberry Ridge, which dictate the winding paths of rural routes like Co Rte 32 and Beechtown Rd. Settlement is dispersed among small communities including French Creek, Adrian, and Hinkleville.

Local history and genealogy are anchored in the numerous small runs and cemeteries found throughout the hollows. Researchers can locate the Slab Camp Cem near Slab Camp Fork and the Beechtown Cem to the south. In the northeast, the Upshur County Regional Airport marks a modern utility contrast to the traditional landscape of Day Helmick Spring and the numerous small watercourses like Cutright Run and Grand Camp Run that feed the regional drainage system.
