About this map

The Kanawha River serves as the central artery for this 2019 view of the West Virginia capital region, where industrial legacy and civic infrastructure meet a complex system of hollows. Bridges like the Kanawha Bridge and Daniel Boone Bridge link Charleston and Kanawha City with the southern residential and industrial zones. The map details the transition from the dense urban core near the Supreme Court of West Virginia to the ridges and valleys of South Park and Malden Mtn.

Genealogists will find numerous family-named landmarks and cemeteries tucked into the hills, including the Hunt-Donnally Cem and Fisher Cem near Brooks Hollow. The landscape is dotted with smaller communities such as Airport Village and Rand, while the industrial footprint of the Columbia Carbon Company Spring and the expansive Yeager Airport highlights the city's role as a regional hub for transportation and commerce.
