2023 Map of Ansted
USGS Topo · Published 2023About this map
Ansted serves as a primary settlement node in this Fayette County landscape, situated where the high ground of Gauley Mtn meets the deep cuts of the Gauley River gorge. The river corridor is defined by the Gauley River National Recreation Area, where dramatic whitewater features like Pure Screaming Hell Rapids and Heaven Help You Rapids indicate the steep descent of the waterway through the Allegheny Plateau. Historically significant transit points and smaller hamlets such as Marvel, Romont, and Victor are connected by a network of winding roads like Saturday Rd and Coke Oven Rd, reflecting the area's industrial and residential development. Local genealogy is anchored by several burial grounds, including the Ansted Episcopal Church of the Redeemer Columbarium and Mount Chapel Cem, while Woods Ferry points to earlier river-crossing traditions used before modern bridging.
