2016 Map of Big Run

About this map

Kodol and Sincerity sit among the high ridges and winding creek beds of West Virginia's northern interior, where the landscape is defined by the complex drainage systems of Willey Fork and North Fork Fishing Creek. The map reveals a deeply etched topography of narrow valleys and prominent divides like Anderson Ridge and Lowman Ridge. This 2016 survey documents the enduring layout of the rural road network, including the winding Richwood Run Rd and Preachers Dream Rd. A dense distribution of family and community burial sites, such as the Kilcoyne Cem, Anderson-Bane Cem, and Shuman Cem, provides valuable points of reference for genealogical research. Small settlements like Big Run, Burchfield, and Jacksonburg serve as local hubs along the valley floors, maintaining the region's traditional settlement pattern throughout the early 21st century.
