About this map

Lobelia and several rural settlements are documented here during a period of extensive culture revision in the mid-1930s. The landscape is defined by its educational and spiritual centers, featuring numerous community landmarks like Rockcamp School, Beulah Church, and Mt Zion Church. The eastern edge is anchored by the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad corridor near Renicks Valley, while the Seneca Trail cuts through the southern reaches of Monongahela National Forest.

Natural landmarks like the Falls of Hills Creek and the unique wetlands of Cranberry Glades highlight a territory where the Greenbrier, Nicholas, Webster, and Pocahontas county lines converge. The dense network of named ridges and schools, such as Mt Lebanon School and New Piedmont School, reflects a highly organized rural society before the consolidation of the mid-20th century, offering a clear view of local genealogy through family-named features like McMillion Church.
