About this map

The Tygart Valley River corridor defines the western edge of this region, where the historic settlement of Beverly stands as a focal point for local heritage. This area is notably rich in genealogical sites, including the Beverly Cemetery, Mount Iser Cemetery, and Stalnaker Cemetery. The terrain is characterized by a series of prominent ridges and knobs, such as Mount Iser, Childers Knob, and Millstone Gap Ridge, which separate the various forks and runs that feed into the larger river systems.

In the southeast, a significant network of railway junctions including Cheat Junction, Elk River Junction, and Greenbrier Junction highlights the importance of timber and coal transport along the Shavers Fork. Land use ranges from the recreational Elks Golf Course near Hazelwood and Camp Pioneer to the industrial water management at Sherwan Lake Dam. The detailed naming of minor drainages like Hoe-Lick Run and Limekiln Run provides a specific look at the local topography as it was documented in the early 21st century.
