About this map

The West Fork River corridor south of Clarksburg defines this Harrison County landscape, where modern infrastructure meets long-established Appalachian settlements. Significant genealogical data is present in the numerous burial grounds scattered across the terrain, from the Mount Clare Independent Order of Odd Fellows Cem and Union Cem near Mount Clare, to the Rockford Cem in the southern reaches. These sites, along with others like the Wolfe Cem and Adkinson Cem, reflect the deep-rooted family histories of the area.

Industrial and transport history is visible through the CSX rail line and the Harrison S Rail-Trail, tracing a path near the Lost Creek community. The map identifies unique local landmarks such as the William Cunningham Spring and the eponymous Romines Mill on Gnatty Creek. From the more densely populated fringes of Nutter Fort and Stonewood to the smaller hamlets of Quiet Dell and Rockford, the survey provides a detailed look at the rural road networks and watercourses like Elk Creek and Stevens Run that have shaped this region.
