About this map

Kingwood serves as the focal point of this survey, situated on the high ground above the winding Cheat River. The landscape is characterized by a dense network of mountain streams like Morgan Run and Greens Run that carve through the local topography. A significant infrastructure transition is visible south of the town center, where the WV Northern Rail-Trail is shown under development, following the former rail corridor toward Irona and Borgman.

Genealogists and local historians will find several burial grounds mapped, including the Dinkerberger Family Cem to the north and Cobun Cem near Blaser. The presence of Dawson Army Airfield near the settlement of Preston and the Allegheny Trail along the eastern ridge highlights the area's mix of military utility and recreational land use. Small settlements such as Caddell, Manown, and Albright are linked by a complex system of county routes, reflecting the rural residential pattern of Preston County in the mid-2010s.
