About this map

The West Fork Little Kanawha River carves a winding path through this central West Virginia landscape, anchoring several small communities in the early 21st century. The settlement at Arnoldsburg serves as a local focal point near the confluence of Leatherbark Creek and the Henry Fork, while more secluded hamlets like Rocksdale, Pink, and Otto are connected by a network of ridge-running roads and narrow valley floors.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local family history preserved in the numerous upland burial grounds, including the Starcher Cemetery, Meadows Cemetery, and Husk Cemetery. The map captures a transition from traditional agricultural patterns to modern rural life, shown by the persistent naming of landmarks such as Husk Ridge and Kirby Ridge alongside the established state routes that now facilitate travel through the Appalachian terrain.
