2023 Map of Fairmont West

Modern transportation infrastructure, such as the West Fork River Rail-Trail, overlays older transit corridors that once supported the region's coal and manufacturing industries. To the south, rural settlements like White Hall and Boothsville are surrounded by family-named landmarks and small burial grounds including Thomas Cem and Nixon Cem. The topography is defined by sharp ridges and winding waterways like Booths Creek and Buffalo Creek, illustrating the complex drainage patterns that shaped the expansion of these North Central West Virginia communities.
