1927 Map of Burnsville

About this map

The Little Kanawha River snakes through the center of this 1920s topography, serving as the primary corridor for the central town of Burnsville. The landscape is a dense network of high ridges and narrow creek bottoms, including Saltlick Creek and Fiddlers Run, which dictated the settlement patterns of central West Virginia. Small rural communities and rural landmarks like Bealls Mills and Stouts Mills are scattered across the terrain, connected by the Baltimore and Ohio railroad line.
