2014 Map of Chloe

About this map

The West Fork Little Kanawha River carves a complex path through the heart of Calhoun County, defining the settlement patterns of this central West Virginia landscape. Small communities like Chloe, Minnora, and Nebo are situated along the winding valley floors, connected by a network of rural routes such as WV-16. The topography is marked by distinctive high points like Mule Knob and deep drainages including Bear Run and Stinson Creek. This area is particularly dense with family and community burial grounds, offering significant value for genealogical research. Numerous sites such as the Chenowith Reip Cem, Bailey Siers Cem, and the Mollohan/Cooper Cem are meticulously plotted across the ridges and hollows, reflecting generations of local history near the boundaries of Clay, Roane, and Braxton counties.
