About this map

The Middle Fork River carves a deep path through the highlands of Randolph County, where the Cassity Community and the settlement of Cassity serve as focal points for this upland landscape. The terrain is defined by prominent elevations such as Kelly Knob and Bear Knob, which overlook a complex network of drainage runs including Cassity Fork, Three Forks Run, and Panther Run. These waterways historically shaped the settlement patterns of the region, visible in the isolated locations of Cubana and Loda.

Genealogists and local historians can find significant landmarks such as Long Run Cem and Simmons Cem, often located near the winding secondary roads that trace the contours of the hills. The southern reaches of the map include distinctive level areas like Whitman Flats and Cranberry Flat, leading toward See Camp Gap. This map illustrates the intersection of rural West Virginia life and a landscape dominated by steep ridges and the tributaries that feed into the Middle Fork.
