2023 Map of Chloe

About this map

The Left Fork West Fork Little Kanawha River and the West Fork Little Kanawha River define the intricate drainage patterns of this central West Virginia landscape. Small settlements are scattered across the narrow valleys, including Chloe, Minnora, and Nebo, often centered around crossroads and stream junctions. The geography is characterized by numerous cemeteries that crown the ridgelines and hillsides, such as Mollohan Cem, Booher Cem, and the Clark Jarvis Cem, providing essential points of reference for genealogists tracing families in the Calhoun and Roane County borderlands. Transport follows the winding paths of waterways like Nicut Run and Stinson Creek, with notable landmarks like Mule Knob rising above the hollows. This recent survey shows the persistent rural character of the region, where place names like Nicut, Mudfork, and Floe reflect a long history of local settlement anchored by the local creek system.
