2019 Map of Girta

About this map

The Little Kanawha River and the Hughes River define the intricate drainage patterns of Wirt and Ritchie counties, where high ridges and deep hollows dictate the layout of small settlements. Located in the southwestern corner, Enterprise sits along the river near the L K Pkwy, serving as a focal point for researchers interested in the rural corridor between local knobs and the river valley. The map documents numerous family and community burial sites, including the Pine Twist Cem, Shiloh Cem, and Saratoga Cem, which are often the only remaining markers of early pioneer homesteads in this landscape.
