About this map

Huff Knob and Flat Top Mountain anchor the high terrain of this West Virginia landscape, where small settlements like Ghent and Flat Top sit near the Interstate 77 corridor. The map provides a detailed view of the rural upland life in 2011, noting essential community hubs such as the Ghent Post Office and the Flat Top Post Office. Family history and local heritage are well-preserved through numerous burial sites, including the Camp Creek Cemetery, Hatcher Cemetery, and Meador Cemetery.

The hydrography is defined by the winding Bluestone River and its many tributaries, such as Little Bluestone River and North Fork Mountain Creek. These watercourses carve through prominent landforms like Ellison Ridge and Bearwallow Ridge. Beyond the natural features, the survey details a network of rural routes like Ellison Ridge Rd and Dunns Rd that connect isolated homesteads and the settlement of Dunns to the broader region.
