About this map

Left Fork Sandy Creek and its many winding tributaries define the deeply dissected landscape of Jackson, Wirt, and Roane counties. The settlement pattern follows the narrow valley floors and ridgelines, with small communities like Liverpool, Duncan, and Wiseburg serving as local anchors. This modern survey reflects the enduring rural character of the region, where family history is etched into the terrain through numerous upland burial grounds, including the Pleasant Ridge Cem and Gridley Cem.

High points such as Balls Knob and Smith Knob offer a view of the complex drainage network, including the Lockhart Fork and Turkey Fork. The map provides excellent detail for researchers tracing family connections to local landmarks like Sheppard Chapel Church Cem or the remote Union Chapel Cem near Limestone Ridge. This documentation of the West Virginia backcountry shows how historical roads like the Liverpool Rd continue to connect these persistent Appalachian settlements.
