2014 Map of New Milton

About this map

The Meathouse Fork and its complex network of tributaries define the settlement patterns of this West Virginia landscape, where small communities like New Milton and Market are situated along the winding valley floors. This 2014 survey reveals a region deeply rooted in local lineage, evidenced by the high density of family and community burial grounds including Childers Cem, Mid Island Cem, and Snider Cem. The terrain is marked by numerous forks and runs, such as Toms Fork and Lick Run, which have historically dictated the placement of homesteads and rural roads. Transportation is centered on routes like WV-18 and a web of county roads that navigate the ridges and hollows, connecting smaller locales like Leopold and Avon. A notable modern landmark, Nicholson Airport, sits on a high point above the Indian Fork, contrasting with the more traditional land uses of the surrounding timbered hills.
