2011 Map of Beverly West

About this map

The Tygart Valley River carves a fertile corridor through Randolph County, anchoring a series of small riverside communities including Beverly, Dailey, and Valley Bend. This landscape is defined by the sharp contrast between the settled river valley and the high, forested ridges of Rich Mountain and Nettle Mountain to the west. On these summits, the Rich Mountain Lookout Tower and Rich Mountain Fire Lookout Tower stand as sentinels over the drainage basins of Cassity Fork and Beaver Creek. The map documents the localized civic infrastructure of the era, such as the Dailey Post Office and Valley Bend Post Office, alongside older landmarks like the Crouch Cemetery. The winding course of the river is punctuated by features like Burnt Bridge and Scott Lake, reflecting the enduring relationship between the topography and the transport network of the valley.
