About this map

Tygart Valley River carves a deep winding path through the heart of Barbour County, anchoring a landscape defined by small crossroad communities and family-named landmarks. The settlement of Nestorville sits central to a network of creeks, including Teter Creek and Flat Run, where the local economy historically relied on the water's flow and fertile hollows. Significant genealogical points of interest include Fairview Cem, Tacy Cem, and the Olive Hill Cem, providing vital clues for researchers tracing the early families of this Appalachian region.

The industrial and agricultural heritage of the area is evidenced by named sites such as Valley Furnace and Vannoys Mill. The map also details the rail connection at Berryburg Junction and the remote settlements of Clemtown, Kalamazoo, and Kasson. This survey documents a complex web of county routes and ridges, from Pea Ridge to Chestnut Ridge, that have shaped movement and settlement in the West Virginia hills for generations.
