About this map

The Gauley River and Cranberry River converge near the Webster Co Nicholas Co line, defining a landscape marked by steep ridges and narrow valleys. Much of the southern and central terrain is protected within the Monongahela National Forest, where features like Horse Ridge and Perry Ridge rise above a dense network of watercourses including Little Laurel Run and Holcomb Run.

Settlement patterns follow the river benches and rail sidings of a former timber and coal economy, anchored by Camden on Gauley and Gauley Mills. Several smaller locales such as Allingdale, Coe, and Harris Siding are scattered across the quadrangle, alongside family and community landmarks like Blacks Chapel Cem, Williams Cem, and the Holcomb Bridge. The map details the transition from small mountain communities to the extensive forestlands that dominate the eastern West Virginia highlands.
