About this map

Summersville Lake dominates the northern reaches of this Nicholas County terrain, where the Hughes Bridge spans the water near the Summersville Airport. The landscape is a complex network of ridges and deep drainage basins, characterized by prominent elevations like Fowlers Knob and Daubenspeck Knob. These high points often serve as the focal points for small upland communities such as Mount Nebo, Snow Hill, and Bruce.

Genealogists will find a wealth of burial sites scattered across the ridges, including Fowlers Knob Cem, Gilgal Cem, and Mount Gilead Cem near Pool. The map tracks the winding course of Hominy Creek and its many tributaries like Jerry Fork and Elevenmile Fork. This detailed record reveals a rural pattern where life follows the contours of the land, from the settlement at Runa to the remote Clements Divide.
