About this map

Hundred serves as the central hub for this corner of Wetzel County, situated at the junction of the W Virginia Fork Fish Cr and Church Fork. The local landscape is defined by deep hollows and prominent rises such as Lough Knob and Hon socker Knob. Historic transportation infrastructure is well-documented here, featuring the Marshall Tunnel and Soles Tunnel, alongside two notable spans: the Fish Creek Covered Bridge and the Hundred Cover Bridge. These structures illustrate the engineering required to navigate the area's intricate drainage systems, which include Pigeon Run, Styles Run, and Rush Run.

Genealogists will find a wealth of family-named burial sites across the ridges, from the Scritchfield Cem and Garner Cem in the south to the McNicholas Cem and Barger Cem near the northern border. Small communities like Burton, Cottontown, and Saint Cloud are connected by a network of winding county roads like Gilbert Ridge Rd, reflecting a settlement pattern deeply tied to the underlying topography of the West Virginia-Pennsylvania state line.
