About this map

The Levisa Fork carves a deep path through Buchanan County, defining the settlement patterns and transportation corridors of this Appalachian landscape. Near the Kentucky border, small communities like Toonerville, Conaway, and Weller cling to the riverbank, following the winding course of Riverside Dr and the rail lines. The terrain is marked by a complex network of hollows and gaps, including Sugarcamp Hollow and Conaway Gap, which historically dictated the flow of local travel between the ridges.

Genealogists will find a high concentration of family-named landmarks throughout the quadrangle. Several small burial sites, such as Ramey Cem near Conaway and Looney Creek Cem near Harman Junction, offer clear points of interest for those tracing local lineages. The map also records the junction of numerous branches and creeks, such as Lynn Camp Cr and Bull Creek, which served as the primary landmarks for generations of mountain residents.
