2023 Map of Folsom

About this map

Smithfield and Folsom anchor a landscape defined by the convergence of steep Appalachian ridges and the winding waters of South Fork Fishing Creek. This 2023 survey delineates a rural network where small settlements like Hartzel, Rinehart, and Wallace follow the narrow valley floors. The proximity of the Wetzel, Harrison, and Doddridge county lines highlights the intricate borders in this part of West Virginia. Local history researchers will find the placement of several family and community burial grounds, including the Stout Run Cem and the McIntire Fork Cem, essential for genealogical study. The map also traces an extensive system of rural routes such as Sycamore Fork Rd and Trader Run Rd, illustrating how modern infrastructure continues to navigate the complex topography of Beverlin Fork Hill and Chiccarillo Hollow.
