2011 Map of Burlington

About this map

Patterson Creek defines the central corridor of this West Virginia landscape, joined by numerous tributaries including Mill Creek, Sugar Run, and Elliber Run. This area of Mineral County is characterized by a series of engineered water management features, such as Patterson Creek Structure 26 Dam and Patterson Creek Structure 48 Dam, which dot the drainage network. Small crossroads communities like Burlington, Ridgeville, and Markwood are connected by a web of local routes including Knobley Rd and Push Root Rd. Genealogists will find a significant number of family-named burial grounds throughout the valley, from the Rawlings Cemetery in the north to the Elijah High Cemetery in the south, reflecting generations of settlement along the creek banks and ridges like Fried Meat Ridge Rd.
