About this map

The borderlands of Harrison, Doddridge, and Lewis Counties are defined by a complex network of narrow hollows and stream forks, including Right Fork Kincheloe Cr and Meathouse Fork. Small rural settlements like Big Isaac and Kincheloe serve as focal points for this upland landscape, where life follows the drainage patterns of Indian Fork and Little Isaac Cr. The map reveals a deeply rooted community structure, evidenced by numerous family and church burial grounds such as Mount Lebanon Cem, Big Isaac Cem, and Morris Cem.

Industry and transport are woven into the terrain, with many roads following the winding creek beds. The presence of a Gas Well and numerous rural routes like Co Rte 15 and Traugh Fork RD illustrate the local infrastructure. For genealogists and local historians, the specific placement of landmarks like Miletus, Zinnia, and the Freeman Cem provides a clear view of the area's social and geographic organization.
