About this map

The community of Gladesville sits at a high point in Preston County, surrounded by a complex network of streams and ridges that define the West Virginia landscape. Numerous family burial grounds and historical sites are scattered across this terrain, including Summers Cemetery, Amnon Cemetery, and the Matthew Cemetery near Victoria. The drainage patterns are intricate, with Whiteday Creek and its many tributaries, such as Maple Run and Wickwire Run, carving through the hills toward the Three Fork Creek valley.

Infrastructure in this rural region is marked by the presence of the Laurel Run Lake Dam and the cluster of settlements including Halleck and Irontown. The landscape is a mix of high-elevation points like Kincaid Knob and Trickett Hill and low-lying areas along Raccoon Creek. The distribution of local landmarks such as Browns Chapel and the various rural roads reflects a long-established settlement pattern deeply integrated with the natural topography.
