2016 Map of Erbacon

About this map

Centralia and Erbacon anchor this rugged stretch of the Braxton and Webster County line, where the topography is defined by the deep incisions of Laurel Creek and the Little Birch River. The northern landscape is influenced by the waters of Sutton Lake, with several mountain ridges like Barker Ridge and Spring Ridge rising steeply from the narrow hollows. The settlement pattern follows the drainages and ridge tops, connected by a network of rural routes including Centralia Road and Erbacon Road. Genealogists and local historians will find significant points of interest at the Centralia Cemetery and McCourt-Cogar Cemetery, alongside Sunset Memorial Park in the south. This area, marked by prominent high points such as Pilot Knob and Big Mountain, reflects the enduring rural character of central West Virginia's coal and timber country.
