2023 Map of Burnsville
USGS Topo · Published 2023About this map
Burnsville serves as the central hub of this Braxton County landscape, situated where the Little Kanawha River meets Saltlick Creek. The map documents a deeply dissected plateau, where small settlements like Copen, Gem, and Heaters are tucked into narrow valleys formed by a dense network of runs and forks. The road system, including Gem Rd and various county routes, follows these watercourses, illustrating how the terrain has dictated human movement and settlement patterns. Local history is anchored by sites like the K of P Cem and Little Kanawha Memorial Gardens, which alongside names like Hyers and Bower, provide essential touchpoints for genealogists tracing family roots in this part of West Virginia. The transition from valley floors to high points like Gabel Knob highlights the persistent character of this upland region.
