About this map

The Little Kanawha River carves a deep, winding path through Calhoun County, anchoring the town of Grantsville. This 2019 survey documents the river-oriented geography of the region, where infrastructure like the Bernard P Bell Bridge and Little Kanawha River Bridge connect the community's core. The landscape is defined by its numerous small hollows and ridges, with high points such as Cabbage Knob and Hog Knob overlooking narrow valleys drained by Yellow Creek and Bull River.

Genealogists and local historians can trace legacy sites through an extensive network of rural burial grounds, including Pleasant Hill Cem, Broomstick Cem, and Big Springs Cem. Settlement patterns remain concentrated along these watercourses and winding county roads, with established locales like Big Springs, Five Forks, and Henrietta serving as primary points of reference. The map also captures specific landmarks such as Cabot Station and the naturally shallow waters of Mussel Shoals near the community of Hattie.
