2019 Map of Charters

About this map

Salt Lick Creek and its many tributaries, including Little Br and Big Br, define the drainage patterns of this Lewis County landscape. Small rural communities like Charters and Clarksburg sit along the winding valley roads, while Glen Springs occupies the southern reaches of the map near Glen Springs Hill. The topography is a complex network of ridges and hollows, such as Kentucky Ridge and Eskalapia Mtn, which separate the various creek beds. Genealogists can locate several family and community burial grounds tucked into the hills, including Webster Cem and Pleasant Ridge Cem. The transportation network is built around the natural terrain, with routes like Salt Lick Rd and Hackworth Hollow Rd following the low ground between steep rises like Herron Hill.
