About this map

Summersville Lake dominates the northwest corner of this West Virginia landscape, where the waters are framed by Long Point and the adjacent Summersville Airport. The terrain to the south and east is defined by a dense network of ridges and watercourses, including Fowler Knob, Snow Hill, and the winding path of Hominy Creek. Small settlements like Mount Nebo, Runa, and Pool are connected by a system of rural routes such as Old US Hwy 19 and Runa Rd.

Genealogists will find significant local history preserved in the numerous burial grounds scattered throughout the quadrangle, from the Gilgal Cemetery near the center to Pleasant Hill Cemetery in the south. The presence of both the Mount Nebo Post Office and Runa Post Office highlights these locations as historic community hubs. The map also traces intricate drainage systems like Anglins Creek and Elevenmile Fork, illustrating the complex topography of Nicholas County.
