2019 Map of Kingwood

About this map

The Cheat River carves a deep path through Preston County, serving as the primary geographical axis for this region near the Briery Mountains. The town of Kingwood sits on the high ground west of the river, surrounded by a network of smaller communities including Irona, Snider, and Zevely. A significant transition in the local infrastructure is visible along the western edge of the map, where the WV Northern Rail-Trail follows the old rail corridor through Borgman and Tunnelton. Genealogists will find several burial sites preserved in the landscape, such as the Dinkerberger Family Cem and the Albright-Saint Joe Cem. The area's diverse valley floors are marked by the Dawson Army Airfield at Dunkard Bottom and the agricultural expanse of Moore Field near Preston.
