Ansted and the surrounding Fayette County uplands are defined by the winding course of the Gauley River, which flows through a deep gorge south of the boundary with Nicholas County. This 2000 edition shows a landscape where industrial extraction and modern conservation overlap, evidenced by the proximity of numerous strip mines to the protected corridors of the Gauley River National Recreation Area. Local life is anchored in small communities like Victor, Hopewell, and Marvel, with family and community history traced through several country churches such as Mt Zion Ch and Mt Eary Ch.
