Summersville Lake dominates the central landscape of this Nicholas County region, where the Gauley River carves a deep, winding path through the plateau. This mid-1990s survey illustrates a rural economy transitioning from resource extraction to recreation and regional services. While Mine symbols and a large Conveyor system near Marybill point to the area's industrial heritage, the presence of the Summersville Lake Public Hunting and Fishing Area and the Monongahela National Forest boundary reflects the growing importance of the outdoors. The town of Craigsville serves as a local hub, featuring a Drive-in Theater and proximity to the Herold Airport. Further south, the Richwood Municipal Airport sits near Lick Creek, while scattered hamlets like Calvin and Donald are marked by their small churches and schools, such as Little Union Ch and the Oak Grove Sch.
