2023 Map of Alum Creek

About this map

The Coal River winds through the heart of the Kanawha and Lincoln County borderlands, carving a complex path past Tornado and Alum Creek. This modern survey documents the contemporary landscape where the river system dominates local geography, featuring notable points like Upper Falls and the recreational Upper Falls Beach. The map illustrates the transition from the denser settlements of St. Albans and South Charleston in the north toward the more dispersed communities of Priestley and Sproul to the south.
