About this map

The Middle Fork River winds through this West Virginia landscape, anchoring a series of small mountain communities and rural outposts. The map documents the layout of the Cassity Community, including the primary settlement at Cassity, and the nearby locales of Loda and Cubana. This area is defined by its deep drainages and high points like Kelly Knob and Bear Knob, where the local road network often follows the natural courses of waterways such as Cassity Fork and Panther Run.

Genealogists and local historians can locate specific landmarks that identify the family and community heritage of the region. The Long Run Cemetery and Simmons Cemetery are clearly marked, providing precise locations for ancestral research. The geography transitions from the river valley to higher plateaus, including Whitman Flats and Cranberry Flat, before reaching the southern boundary at See Camp Gap. This survey preserves the connectivity of rural roads like the Adolph Cassity and Stone Coal Rd as they existed in the early 21st century.
