The Buckhannon River and its multiple forks define this area of Upshur County, where high ridges like Democrat Ridge and Phillips Ridge separate a network of small mountain communities. Many of these settlements, including Alton, Alexander, and Imperial, are situated along the riverbanks, illustrating the historical dependence on waterways for both travel and industry. The landscape is dotted with several family and community burial grounds, such as Alton Cem and Brooks Hill Cem, which serve as vital points for genealogical research.
