About this map

The Little Kanawha River and the Right Fork Little Kanawha River define the northern drainage of this Appalachian landscape, where narrow valleys dictate the placement of small West Virginia settlements. In the early 21st century, these communities remain connected by winding mountain roads such as Cowger Hill Rd and Replete Pugh Rd. The village of Hacker Valley serves as a local hub, anchored by the Hacker Valley Post Office near the confluence of Hodam Creek and the Left Fork Holly River.

Notable landmarks like Courthouse Rock and Hanging Rock near Poling suggest the steep, dissected topography that characterizes the region. Further south, the settlement of Guardian sits along the Right Fork Holly River, while smaller locales like Replete, Cleveland, and Fishers Crossing mark historical crossings and creek junctions. The map preserves a network of family-named features and rural routes, including Bud Anderson Rd and Jim Dever Rd, essential for genealogical research in this part of Braxton County.
