About this map

Milton and the surrounding Cabell County landscape are defined by the meandering path of the Mud River, which flows through the heart of the region. This 2011 survey captures the area as a corridor of transit and community, where modern infrastructure like Interstate 64 parallels the traditional route of the James River Tpke. Cultural and genealogical landmarks are abundant, including the Mud River Covered Bridge and several family-named burial sites such as Love Cemetery, Waugh Cemetery, and Arthur Cemetery.

The terrain north of the river is characterized by numerous hollows and knobs, including Webb Hollow, Hannah Hollow, and Huddleston Knob. Significant local points of interest like Howells Mill, Ona Airpark, and Camp Arrowhead reflect the diverse land use of the period, from light aviation and youth recreation to remnants of early industrial sites. The map provides a detailed view of these established settlements and the network of branch creeks, such as Fudges Creek and Big Cabell Creek, that drain the surrounding hills.
