2019 Map of MacFarlan

About this map

The South Fork Hughes River snakes through this West Virginia landscape, where the borders of Ritchie, Wirt, and Calhoun counties meet. This 2019 survey captures a series of upland communities and family-named landmarks connected by a network of winding county roads like Oxbow Rd and Munday Rd. Local genealogy is well-documented through several historic burial grounds, including Nutter Cem near the river and Wolverton Cem further south. High ground is defined by prominent features such as Frederick Ridge and Hartley Hill, which overlook the numerous drainages like Dutchman Run and Straight Fork. Small settlements such as Macfarlan, Brohard, and Munday anchor the local geography, providing clear reference points for those tracing the development of these rural hollows and ridges.
