About this map

Logansport and the surrounding hollows of Marion County are characterized by a dense network of family cemeteries and small rural settlements situated along winding creek valleys. The landscape is defined by its drainage patterns, where Buffalo Creek and Pyles Fork carve through the terrain, creating the distinct ridges like Lowman Ridge. This 2014 survey reveals a land heavily marked by legacy names, with numerous burial sites such as the Mannington Memorial Cem, Snodgrass Cem, and Atha Cem serving as permanent anchors for local genealogy.

Small hubs like Curtisville, Rymer, and Deep Valley are connected by a web of county roads that follow the natural contours of the valley floors. Water sources such as George Williams Spring and Charles Beatty Spring highlight the historical reliance on local springs in these West Virginia uplands. The boundary between Wetzel and Marion counties cuts through the northwestern portion of the map, dividing the watersheds of Harker Run and Bartholomew Fork.
