About this map

The Little Kanawha River carves a deep, winding path through Calhoun County, anchoring the riverside community of Grantsville. This survey illustrates the dense network of ridges and narrow valleys that define central West Virginia, where small settlements like Big Springs, Five Forks, and Pleasant Hill are connected by winding ridge roads such as Norman Ridge and Nobe Rd.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local landmarks, including the Little Kanawha River Bridge and numerous burial grounds like Broomstick Cemetery and Betts Cemetery. The presence of several rural post offices, such as the Nobe Post Office, speaks to the enduring community structure of the region. Distinctive terrain features like Cabbage Knob and Hog Knob overlook the water, while named shoals and runs suggest a landscape shaped by its river-and-creek geography.
