About this map

The Buckhannon River and Tygart Valley River converge in this mountainous section of Barbour and Upshur counties, where steep ridges and deep runs define the settlement patterns. A primary landmark is the Carrollton Covered Bridge at Carrollton, which provides a crossing near the mouth of the river. The rail infrastructure is notable at Tygart Junction and Century Junction, reflecting the region's industrial heritage.

Genealogists can find numerous family and community burial sites across the terrain, including Mount Vernon Memorial Cem, Bethany Cem, and the Oldaker Cem near Five Forks. High-elevation landmarks like Hanging Rock and Knobtown stand above small communities such as Mount Liberty and Werner. The presence of Simpson Airport and many named runs like Lick Shoals Run and Azzens Run document the modern and natural features of this West Virginia landscape.
