About this map

The Mud River meanders through this section of Cabell County, defining the corridor where the historical community of Milton and the unincorporated area of Ona are situated. The landscape is characterized by a high density of small family and community burial grounds, such as the Chapman Family Cem, Arthur Cem, and Love Cem, which provide significant data points for genealogical research. Notable infrastructure includes a variety of crossings ranging from the Mud River Covered Bridge to the modern William Bradley Fulks Memorial Bridge.

Transitioning from the river valley to the surrounding uplands, the terrain is deeply dissected by numerous hollows and knobs. Points of interest like Howells Mill and Yates Crossing reflect the historical reliance on river-adjacent sites for industry and transport. To the south, features like Horsebone Gap and Tarkiln Hollow mark the more isolated stretches of the county, while the Kanawha Trace provides a named path through the hills north of the river.
