2016 Map of Kanawha

About this map

The Little Kanawha River meanders through this West Virginia landscape, anchoring a network of small valley settlements and rural ridges during the early 21st century. The map reveals a high density of family and community burial grounds, such as Ross-McCardle Cem and Leachtown Community Cem, which provide significant data points for genealogists tracking local lineages. The transition of former industrial infrastructure into recreational use is evident in the N Bend Rail Trail, which follows the river's path through towns like Davisville and Kanawha.
