2019 Map of Erbacon

About this map

Centralia and Erbacon anchor this detailed survey of the rugged borderlands between Braxton and Webster counties. The landscape is defined by the sharp relief of Barker Ridge and Poplar Ridge in the north, giving way to the winding course of the Elk River as it enters Sutton Lake. This area reflects a classic Appalachian settlement pattern, where narrow hollows carved by Laurel Creek, Camp Cr, and Houston Run dictate the placement of local roads and family homesteads. For those tracing regional roots, the map identifies local landmarks such as Centralia Cem, the McCourt-Cogar Cem, and Sunset Memorial Park near Erbacon. The network of secondary routes, including Coal Mine Rd and Centralia Rd, underscores the historical importance of resource extraction and transit in this deeply dissected terrain.
