About this map

Kingwood serves as the focal point of this Preston County landscape, situated on the high ground west of the Cheat River. The river forms a major topographic corridor, winding past Dunkard Bottom and Caddell as it flows north toward Albright. This 2014 survey documents a region defined by scattered mountain settlements and specialized facilities, including the military presence at CTC Camp Dawson-Kingwood and its associated Dawson Army Airfield.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial grounds throughout the quadrangle, from the large Kingwood Cem to smaller family-named sites like Dinkerberger Family Cem and Cobun Cem. The transportation network is anchored by the Veterans Memorial Hwy and S Preston Hwy, which link established communities such as Tunnelton, Irona, and Borgman across the hills. Aviation history is also represented by the inclusion of Moore Field Airport near the settlement of Snider.
