2014 Map of Arlee

About this map

Mohrtown and Arlee anchor this West Virginia landscape, defined by a complex network of ridges and hollows along the Mason and Putnam county line. The terrain is characterized by prominent landforms such as Mt Carmel Ridge and Sevenmile Ridge, where local life followed the winding path of Sixteenmile Cr and its many tributaries. This area is dense with family-named landmarks and small burial grounds, including Barton Chapel Cem and Mtn Valley Cem, indicating a long-established rural community pattern. The northern portion of the map includes a section of the Cornstalk Reservation Area, emphasizing the importance of protected lands in this part of the state. Narrow roads like Little Sixteen Rd and CR 29 connect the scattered settlements, tracing the natural contours of the deep hollows like Barn Hollow and Potts Hollow.
