2019 Map of Gilmer

About this map

Sand Fork and the Little Kanawha River anchor this 2019 survey of a deeply dissected landscape in West Virginia. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainages such as Ellis Cr, Joes Run, and Heaters Fork, which have shaped the settlement patterns of communities like Stouts Mills, Blackburn, and Gilmer. Small family and community plots are distributed across the ridges and hollows, including Canfield Cem, Snyder Cem, and Keith Cem, providing a detailed record for genealogical research in this part of Gilmer County. The map also delineates county boundaries with Lewis and Braxton, showing the rural road network that follows the winding course of runs like Sliding Run and Indian Fork. Notable land features such as Locust Knob and Marshall Hollow characterize the local geography between the small hamlets of Donlan and Ellis.
