About this map

The Kanawha River corridors define this portion of the Kanawha Valley, where a dense sequence of industrial and residential river towns lines the banks. Settlements such as Montgomery, Smithers, London, and Boomer follow the narrow flatlands between the water and the steep Appalachian ridges. The map illustrates the region's complex infrastructure, from the Earl M Vickers Bridge connecting Montgomery to Smithers, to the path of the Midland Trl winding through Alloy and Falls View.

Genealogical interest is found in local landmarks like Montgomery Memorial Cem and Goodwin Cem, as well as the numerous named hollows that cut into the terrain, including Graveyard Hollow and Sixmile Hollow. The physical landscape is dominated by features like Armstrong Mtn and the Wheeler Islands, which sit in the bend near Eagle. This survey serves as a record of the community's layout, from the residential streets of West Montgomery to the industrial presence at Alloy.
