Middle Island Creek winds through the heart of this borderland between Pleasants and Tyler counties, carving a serpentine path through the ridges and valleys of West Virginia. The landscape is dotted with small rural settlements and family landmarks, including Arvilla, Sugar Valley, and Bens Run, the latter sitting along the banks of the Ohio River. This area is particularly rich for genealogical research, documenting numerous historical burial grounds like Mount Nebo Cem, Point Lookout Cem, and Bibbys Cem tucked into the hillsides.
