2014 Map of Cedarville

About this map

Cedarville sits at the confluence of several steep mountain runs, serving as a central point in this rural landscape during the early 21st century. The map illustrates a deeply dissected topography where settlements like Flower and Chapel are tucked into the narrow valleys of Cedar Creek and the Left Fork Steer Creek. The distribution of family and community burial grounds, such as Moss Cem, Rutherford Cem, and Moyers Cem, provides a detailed record of the long-standing family lineages in this part of West Virginia. Transportation follows the natural contours of the land, with routes like the Cedarville-Flower road connecting these small communities. The boundary between Gilmer County and Braxton County cuts diagonally through the southern half of the quadrangle, passing near Cutlips and the winding course of Steer Run.
