About this map

McElroy Creek winds through the southern reaches of this landscape, anchoring the historic community of Center Point. A notable landmark here is the Center Point Covered Bridge, a structural focal point near the intersection of Pike Fork and Talkington Fork. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of drainages and ridges, including Braden Hill and Nurses Hollow, which have historically dictated the placement of small settlements and transportation routes.

Genealogists and local historians will find several family-linked sites such as Tennant Cem, Lyons Cem, and Underwood Cem. The map documents numerous small crossroads and namesake communities, from Ashley and Roberts to the curiously named Little Pittsburg. This 2016 data shows the enduring rural layout of the region, where the roads, such as Riggins Run Rd and Bonelick Rd, follow the natural contours of the West Virginia hills.
