About this map

Diana and its surrounding mountain gaps in Webster County are defined by the winding course of the Right Fork Holly River and its numerous tributaries. This survey captures the rural landscape at a time when small communities like Big Run, Chapman, and Orndoff remained connected by a network of local routes such as WV-15 and WV-20. The map is particularly valuable for its density of family and community burial grounds, documenting sites like Oddfellows Cemetery, Green Cem, and the Columbus McCourt Cem.

River crossings serve as vital landmarks, including the Clifton Ford Bridge and McCourt Ford, alongside the David Daniel Hamrick Memorial Bridge. The terrain is characterized by prominent peaks and hollows, such as Hodam Mtn and Barrenshe Hollow, which dictate the placement of settlements and transport lines. Notable recreational and social features like the Mountain View Golf Course sit alongside traditional landmarks like the Holly River Church Cem, reflecting the area's blend of heritage and modern use.
