About this map

Sassafras Ridge dominates the center of this Calhoun County terrain, where narrow hollows and winding ridges dictate the layout of small settlements like Sand Ridge and Millstone. The landscape is deeply carved by water, with Sycamore Cr and Left Fork Sycamore Cr flowing through steep-sided valleys that have shaped local travel patterns for generations. To the north, the headwaters of Steer Cr and Big Run drain toward the Calhoun-Gilmer county line.

Local family history is preserved in a dense network of upland burial grounds, including the Sylvester Stump Cem, Zeke Run Cem, and Rolling Cem. These sites, alongside larger clusters at Sycamore and Hathaway, provide a clear picture of the early settlement nodes that once anchored these rural communities. The map traces the essential road network, from the primary corridor of WV-16 to the secondary routes such as Mill Stone RD and CR-7, which follow the natural contours of the West Virginia highlands.
