About this map

Mount Clare and Lost Creek anchor this Harrison County landscape, where the winding waters of Elk Creek and Gnatty Creek have shaped the settlement patterns of north-central West Virginia. The area is dense with family and community burial grounds, from the Mt Clare Independent Order of Odd Fellows Cem to the Brick Church Cem, providing a detailed record for genealogical study. The terrain is defined by its drainages, including Brushy Fork and Suds Run, which dictate the paths of local routes like Rockford Rd and Chubb Run Rd.

Smaller hamlets such as Quiet Dell, Romines Mills, and Rockford are interspersed among the ridges and valleys, often centered near local landmarks like the William Cunningham Spring. Significant community features like Floral Hills Memorial Gardens and Stonewall Park Cem sit near the northern edge by Stonewood, illustrating the growth of established cemeteries as the region's primary markers of local history.
