About this map

The Little Kanawha River dictates the settlement patterns of this Gilmer County landscape, winding through a valley that connects the population centers of Glenville and Sand Fork. As of 2010, the regional infrastructure relies on the river’s path, with River St and various county routes tracking the water's edge. Higher elevations like Tank Hill and Powell Knob overlook a dense network of runs and creeks, such as Leading Creek and Stewart Creek, which have carved deep hollows into the terrain.

Genealogists will find a significant concentration of family burial grounds scattered throughout the hills, including Stalnaker Cemetery, Whitting Cemetery, and Messenger Cemetery. Industrial footprints are also visible, most notably the O'donnell Number Two Mine Slurry Dam near the community of Dora. The map captures a moment where the rural character of communities like Alice and Truebada remains defined by the winding drainages of the Big Run and Mudlick Run.
