About this map

The Hurricane and Culloden corridor serves as the primary developmental axis on this West Virginia landscape, where the convergence of the Mud River and various forks of Hurricane Creek shape the residential and commercial layout. The topographical complexity of the region is defined by prominent high points like Signal Knob and deeply cut ravines such as Mill Hollow and Wolfpen Hollow. This era shows significant suburban expansion through established neighborhoods including Knollview Estates, Thompson Heights, and Westview Estates, which fill the spaces between the older municipal centers.

Genealogical interest is found in the scattered rural burial grounds that predate the modern developments, such as Zoar Cem and Neal Cem. Water features like Lake Washington and Culloden Lake are central to the local geography, while the Morris Memorial Bridge stands as a notable landmark along the transit routes connecting the communities of Milton and Teays Valley. The map also captures the distinct tri-county border where Cabell, Putnam, and Mason counties meet.
