The Kanawha River serves as the central artery for this industrial and political corridor, anchoring the eastern expansion of Charleston and its surrounding riverfront communities. From the government seats at the Supreme Court of West Virginia and the academic grounds of the University of Charleston, the landscape transitions into a dense network of hollows and ridges. These narrow valleys, including Blacksnake Hollow and Brooks Hollow, dictate the footprint of settlements such as Kanawha City and Dupont City. High above the river valley, the West Virginia International Yeager Airport occupies the plateau, while the surrounding hills are dotted with small family burial grounds like the Hanson Cem and Hunt Donnally Cem, preserving the lineage of early area residents amidst the modern infrastructure of MacCorkle Ave and the Interstate system.
