2023 Map of Liverpool

About this map

Liverpool and Lockhart anchor this portion of the West Virginia landscape, where the borders of Jackson, Wirt, and Roane counties meet among a complex network of ridges and narrow valleys. The settlement pattern follows the drainage of the Left Fork Sandy Creek and its many tributaries, including Turkey Fork and Lockhart Fork. This modern survey reveals a high concentration of small family and community burial grounds, such as Pleasant Ridge Cem, Gridley Cem, and Garder Cem, often situated on high ground near ridges like Limestone Ridge and Garfield Ridge. The historical road network is represented by Old US Hwy 21 and Parkersburg Rd, which wind through the terrain to connect small hamlets like Wiseburg, Garfield, and Meadowdale. This distribution of cemeteries and named hollows like Stutler Hollow provides a detailed look at the enduring rural layout of these Appalachian foothills.
