2019 Map of Craigsville

About this map

Craigsville sits as a primary valley settlement where the Chesapeake and Ohio RR follows the narrow corridor of Grassy Run toward its confluence with the Calfpasture River. The landscape is dominated by the linear ridges of the George Washington National Forest, including Great North Mtn and Walker Mountain, which hem in the populated valleys. The map shows a clear division of land use, with the mountainous terrain of Mill Mountain and Sideling Hill contrasting with the agricultural and residential development found in Estaline Valley and near Fordwick. Local transportation and genealogy interests are well-represented by rural landmarks such as Wilson Bridge and the Craigsville Memorial Cem, while the road network extends into the hollows via Staples Hollow Rd and Estaline Valley Rd.
