About this map

Beckley serves as the central hub of this Raleigh County region, where the rugged topography is marked by a complex network of residential clusters and industrial corridors. The city is flanked by a constellation of smaller settlements including Mabscott, Skelton, and Sprague, reflecting the dense development patterns characteristic of West Virginia's coal and transit centers. The landscape is deeply etched by watercourses such as Piney Creek and Cranberry Creek, which dictate the winding paths of roads and the historical placement of the C & O RR.

Educational and civic institutions are prominent, with the New River Community and Technical College and Appalachian Bible College established alongside the Raleigh County Judicial Center. For those tracing local families, numerous burial grounds are documented, ranging from the expansive Blue Ridge Memorial Gardens to smaller sites like Davis Cemetery and Saint Sebastians Cem. The eastern portion of the map transitions toward Batoff Mtn and the Raleigh County Memorial Airport, marking the area's modern infrastructure.
