The New River Gorge Bridge serves as the focal point of this 2019 survey, spanning the deep gorge between Fayetteville and Lansing. The landscape is dominated by the New River Gorge National River, where the New River flows past numerous smaller settlements such as Kaymoor, Fayette, and South Fayetteville. This modern topographical study illustrates the transition from the heavy industrial infrastructure of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway along the riverbanks to the developed administrative centers of Fayetteville, featuring the Fayette County Courthouse and Fayette County Magistrate Court. Genealogy researchers can find several established burial grounds, including Huse Memorial Cem and Willis Cem, while aviation sites like the New River Gorge Airport and Fayette Airport mark the plateau above the canyon.
