About this map

The Buckhannon River carves a winding path through this portion of Upshur County, anchoring the regional center of Buckhannon and its nearby neighborhoods of South Buckhannon and Deanville. The landscape is a network of small upland settlements and valley crossings, including Tennerton, Tallmansville, and Sago. Local industry and infrastructure are evident in features such as Ours Mill and the Ten Mile Creek Dam, while the presence of family-named landmarks like Bailey Ridge and the Bailey Cemetery points to generations of local settlement.

Rural life is further detailed through several houses of worship and resting places, from Heavener Cemetery near Heavener Grove to the Mount Carmel Cemetery. The map also captures several distinct smaller locales like Overhill, Daysville, and Ivy, providing a granular view of the county's inhabited ridges and hollows before the modern era. Public spaces like Upshur County Memorial Park serve as central community landmarks among the many creek-side roads and rural routes.
