2016 Map of Bergoo

About this map

Bergoo and Jerryville sit within a heavily dissected landscape defined by the drainage systems of the Elk River and Gauley River. This high-relief terrain in Webster County is marked by prominent ridges such as Point Mtn and the Gauley Divide, which separates the northern and southern watersheds. Small settlements like Curtin and Ralph are tucked into narrow valley corridors, reflecting the region's historical reliance on river-bottom sites for development. A significant portion of the southern area is preserved within the Monongahela National Forest, where the topography rises into the Yew Mountains. For local historians and genealogists, the map identifies key landmarks including Union Cem near Curtin, the Meadowland Cem near Bergoo, and the uniquely named Gwen Wyatt Spring located along the upper reaches of the Elk River.
