About this map

Buckhannon serves as the focal point of this region where the Buckhannon River winds through the hills of Upshur County. The town is marked by its established infrastructure, featuring the campus of W Virginia Wesleyan Coll and numerous dedicated crossings like the Trooper J.D. Dave Harr Bridge. Beyond the main settlement, smaller communities such as South Buckhannon, Deanville, and Tennerton indicate a pattern of residential expansion along the river valley and primary road corridors.

The outlying landscape is dotted with ancestral landmarks, including Heavener Cem and Mt Carmel Cem, which provide essential points of interest for genealogical research. The map also documents local industry and early education via Ours Mill and the Daysville School. Water sources remain a prominent feature of the terrain, from the Tallmansville Spring to the various forks of Sand Run and Little Laurel Fork that define the area's complex drainage network.
