About this map

Hundred and the surrounding borderlands of Wetzel County define this landscape, where narrow valleys and prominent ridges like Lough Knob dictate the flow of transportation and community life. The convergence of the West Virginia Fork Fish Creek and Church Fork provides the geographic anchor for settlements such as Burton and Cottontown. The era of steam is preserved in the local infrastructure through Railroad St and the modern transformation of the East Wetzel Rail-Trl, which follows the historic corridor through Cusicks Crossing.

Genealogists will find a dense concentration of burial sites throughout the ridges, including the Hundred Cem, Stottlemire Run Cem, and Thomas Chapel Cem. These small family and community plots, such as Scritchfield Cem and Old Harmony Cem, are often located near historical thoroughfares like the Wadestown Pike. The map also captures the precise intersection of state lines where Pennsylvania Fork Dunkard Creek crosses from West Virginia into Greene County, Pennsylvania, near the high ground of Ned Ridge.
