2016 Map of Harrisville

About this map

The North Fork Hughes River meanders through the heart of Ritchie County, shaping a landscape defined by sharp ridges and deep hollows. This area is anchored by Harrisville, where the Independent Order of Odd Fellows Cem and Masonic Cem mark the community's established history. To the west, the N Bend Rail Trail follows the former rail corridor through Cornwallis, while the N Bend State Park preserves the natural bends of the river. The map reveals a dense network of country roads connecting smaller settlements like Washburn and Hannahdale. Numerous family and community landmarks are scattered across the terrain, including Moyers Cem and the Indian Creek Churchyard, offering significant detail for those tracing the lineage of rural West Virginia settlements. The naming of high points such as Victory Ridge and Oil Ridge suggests the historic industrial and cultural influences that have shaped this portion of the Allegheny Plateau.
