2014 Map of Bergoo

About this map

The Gauley Divide separates the primary drainage systems of this portion of the Monongahela National Forest, where the Elk River and Gauley River headwaters create a deeply carved mountain landscape. Settlement is concentrated along the river valleys and primary roads like WV-15 and Curtin Rd. Small communities such as Bergoo and Jerryville appear alongside more isolated locations like Ralph and Parcoal. Local genealogy and land use can be traced through sites like Union Cemetery near Curtin and Meadowland Cem near the upper reaches of Bergoo Cr. The map highlights the transition between the Webster and Pocahontas county lines, following the high ridges of the Yew Mountains. Prominent summits like Point Mtn, Bill Knob, and Redoak Knob define the skyline, while numerous hollows such as Ash Beetree Hollow and Johnson Hollow illustrate the complex topography of the West Virginia highlands.
