About this map

The Kanawha River corridor serves as the primary artery for a dense network of industrial and residential settlements, including Cedar Grove, East Bank, and Glasgow. This 2014 survey documents the complex geography of the region where steep hollows like Halfway Hollow and Hicks Hollow meet the narrow valley floors. Transportation infrastructure is central to the landscape, with the Admiral T J Lopez Bridge and Miller and Brogan Memorial Bridge spanning key waterways.

Genealogists will find significant value in the numerous burial sites recorded, such as the Virginias Chapel Slave Cem and Good Shepherd Church Cem, which reflect the area's deep social and cultural history. The map also traces the winding courses of Cabin Creek and Paint Creek as they weave through communities like Miami, Dawes, and Standard, illustrating the pattern of settlement that follows the water and rail routes into the coal-rich interior of West Virginia.
