About this map

Buckhannon anchors the southwest corner of this map, serving as a gateway to the intricate drainage basins of the Buckhannon River and its numerous tributaries. The landscape is defined by the winding paths of Pecks Run, Big Run, and Hackers Creek, which carve through the terrain between the borders of Harrison, Barbour, and Upshur counties. Historically significant sites for genealogists include Oakington Cemetery, Leonard Cemetery, and the Buckhannon Memorial Cemetery.

Smaller settlements and crossings like Hodgesville, Century, and Kesling Mill reveal a distribution of community life along regional routes such as Clarksburg Road and the Broadway Highway. A unique landmark, the Century Number One Community Spring, sits near the northern boundary, while named bends and runs like Millers Bend and Brush Run illustrate the close relationship between the local geography and its inhabitants in this portion of West Virginia.
