2016 Map of Headsville

About this map

Fort Ashby anchors the northeastern corner of this West Virginia landscape, where the ridges of Patterson Creek Mtn define the local topography. This modern topographic study reveals a terrain deeply influenced by the north-flowing waters of Patterson Creek, which carves through a series of parallel valleys. Researchers of local history will find numerous ancestral landmarks including the Broad Run Graveyard, Reece Cem, and the Headsville Cem, each reflecting the generations of families who settled these mountain gaps. The map highlights the enduring geography of rural crossroads like Champwood and Headsville, where bridges such as Headsville Bridge cross the central waterway, connecting small communities and farmsteads established along the valley floor.
