About this map

The Middle Fork River winds through this section of the West Virginia highlands, defining the drainage patterns for numerous local tributaries. The settlement of Cassity and the surrounding Cassity Community serve as central points in a landscape characterized by deep forks and prominent high points like Kelly Knob and Bear Knob. Local history is preserved at the Long Run Cem near the former site of Cubana and at the Simmons Cem further south.

Transport through this terrain relies on a network of historical routes, including Adolph Cassity Rd and Old Adolph Rd, which trace the ridges and valley floors. Notable geographic features such as Whitman Flats and Cranberry Flat provide contrast to the steep elevations, while the confluence of Cassity Fork and the Middle Fork River highlights the importance of the river system to the area's development and topography.
