2016 Map of Arnoldsburg

About this map

The West Fork Little Kanawha River meanders through this portion of Calhoun and Roane Counties, anchoring a network of small valley settlements and highland ridges. The community of Arnoldsburg serves as a local hub near the confluence of Mushroom Run and the river, while smaller hamlets like Pink, Leatherbark, and Rocksdale are linked by winding routes such as Arnoldsburg Rd. The landscape is characterized by its numerous family and community burial grounds, including Arnoldsburg Cem, Liberty Hill Cem, and Starcher Cem, providing a dense record of local lineage. The infrastructure of the era is evident at the Rocksdale Bridge and the various county roads that follow the contours of the terrain. High points like Egypt Ridge and Husher Ridge separate the many drainage forks, such as Icy Fork and Dennis Fork, which define the agricultural and residential patterns of this Appalachian landscape.
