About this map

Summerville anchors the northwest corner of this West Virginia landscape, where the Mountaineer Expressway cuts through the high plateaus of Nicholas County. The area is defined by its dramatic drainage patterns, as Hominy Creek and its many tributaries, such as Jerry Fork and Anglins Creek, carve deep into the terrain. Smaller settlements like Bruce, Snow Hill, and Runa are scattered across the ridges, connected by winding routes like Old Nicholas Road.

Genealogists and local historians will find a high density of rural burial grounds, including Gilgal Cemetery, Dixon Chapel Cemetery, and Pleasant Hill Cemetery. These sites, alongside prominent landmarks like Fowler Knob and Clements Divide, reveal a long-established network of upland communities. The map also captures the modern infrastructure of Summerville Airport and the expansive Summerville Lake, illustrating the intersection of historic settlement patterns with contemporary regional development.
