About this map

The Little Kanawha River winds through this central West Virginia landscape, serving as a primary geographic axis for the settlements of Burnsville, Gem, and Rollyson. This 2014 edition reveals the complex drainage network of the region, where numerous runs and forks such as Duskcamp Run and Saltlick Creek have carved deep hollows like Shock Hollow and Carter Hollow. The map provides significant genealogical value, documenting sites such as the Little Kanawha Memorial Gardens and the K of P Cem near the river's bend.

Industrial and transportation infrastructure is centered on the river corridor, featuring the Little Kanawha River Bridge and various secondary routes like Oil Creek Rd and Bonnie Rd. Small upland communities and named locales including Copen, Exchange, and Hyers are scattered throughout the interior, connected by a web of county roads that follow the winding creek beds and ridgelines like Buck Ridge.
