2019 Map of Looneyville

About this map

The Pocatalico River carves through the central portion of this West Virginia terrain, where the historic Looneyville Arch Bridge stands as a notable landmark. This 2019 survey documents a landscape defined by its network of hollows and ridges, such as Chambers Knob and Clover Ridge, which dictated the settlement patterns of towns like Looneyville, Clover, and Roxalana. The map is particularly dense with family and community burial sites, providing a significant resource for genealogical research. Features like the Coe-Holland Cem, Eplin Chapel Cem, and Looney Cem are scattered across the hillsides, often near the junctions of local routes like Co Rte 36/10 and Clay Rd. The distribution of these cemeteries and small hamlets like Stringtown and Rushville reflects a long-established rural social structure built around the winding watercourses of Clover Run and Summers Fork.
