About this map

Mount Olive and Upland anchor this West Virginia landscape where the borders of Mason, Putnam, and Cabell counties meet. The topography is defined by complex drainage systems, notably the winding path of Eighteenmile Creek and its many tributaries like Right Fork Eighteenmile Cr. To the northeast, the Kanawha River creates a natural boundary, its banks hosting the Fraziers Bottom United Methodists Church Cem.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local family history preserved in the numerous cemeteries scattered across the ridges and hollows, such as Ball Chapel Cem, Evergreen Cem, and Bias Chapel Cem. Transportation follows the high ground of Whitten Ridge and Dry Ridge, connecting rural settlements through a network of county routes and roads like Palestine Rd and Sisson Rd that navigate the deeply dissected terrain of the Kanawha Valley region.
