2019 Map of New Milton

About this map

New Milton and the surrounding central West Virginia countryside appear here in a modern survey that highlights the deep-rooted settlement patterns of the Meathouse Fork and Toms Fork valleys. The landscape is defined by its intricate drainage networks and high ridges like Maxwell Ridge, which have historically dictated the placement of small communities and family burial grounds. Local history is preserved in the numerous cemeteries throughout the hills, including Sugarcamp Run Middle Island Cem, Childers Cem, and the Union Mission Cem. Evidence of rural infrastructure is found at Nicholson Airport and along the winding roads that follow the contours of the terrain, such as Porto Rico Rd and Willis Store Rd. From the hamlet of Market to the small cluster at Coldwater, this map documents the persistent identity of these Appalachian hollows and the enduring geography of the Doddridge and Lewis county line.
