2016 Map of Gilboa

About this map

Gilboa and Enon occupy the high ground of the Turnpike Road corridor in this southern portion of Nicholas County. The landscape is defined by the sharp descent from these ridge-top settlements into a dense network of drainages, including Peters Creek and the Rockcamp Branch. To the south, the terrain meets the northern reaches of Summersville Lake, where Summersville Lake Road connects the small communities of Tipton and Poe. Genealogists will find several family and community burial grounds preserved in the topography, such as Duling Cemetery near Gilboa and the Keenan Cemetery situated above Peters Creek. The map also documents essential infrastructure like the Water Supply Reservoir near Burl, illustrating the modern management of the area's abundant water resources.
