The Buckhannon River and Middle Fork River converge toward the Tygart Valley River in this rugged section of West Virginia. The terrain is marked by sharp ridges and deep runs, with McDermott Ridge and Chestnut Flats defining the upland boundaries. Settlement is concentrated along these watercourses and the Union rail line, which passes through Tygart Junction and south toward Century Junction. Small communities like Carrollton, Middle Fork, and Audra serve as local hubs in a landscape dotted with family and community burial grounds, including the Mount Vernon Memorial Cem and Pleasant Grove Cem. The presence of Simpson Airport and the Upper Alum Cave Trl reflects a mix of modern infrastructure and recreational access in the heart of Barbour and Upshur counties.
