About this map

Valley Falls and the surrounding river valleys define this 2014 survey, where the Tygart Valley River meets a network of steep hollows and ridges. The map documents the eastern reaches of Fairmont, extending through several family-named settlements like Winfield, Canton, and Graham Heights. For those tracing local genealogy, numerous burial sites are precisely located, including Maple Grove Cem, Vincent Cem, and the Meadowdale Wesleyan Cem near the northern boundary.

Industry and transport are represented by the historic B & O RR corridor along the river and the Carr Airport on the eastern hills. The landscape is deeply carved by drainage systems like Prickett Cr and Hickman Run, leading to local landmarks such as Tunnel Hollow and Dollar Gap. This record provides a clear view of the rural-to-suburban transition as the area developed along the Monongalia and Marion County line.
