2014 Map of Newton

About this map

Big Sandy Creek and its many winding tributaries, including Granny Cr and Middle Fork Big Sandy Cr, define the drainage patterns across this portion of Roane, Clay, and Kanawha Counties. The landscape is dotted with small hilltop and valley settlements like Newton, Wallback, and Left Hand, which remain connected by a network of secondary roads such as Amma Rd and WV-36. Family history is deeply rooted here, evidenced by the numerous small burial grounds including Smith Cem, King Cem, and Laurel Point Cem. Along the southern edge, the terrain descends toward the Elk River Rd N near King, while prominent heights like Weedy Knob and Pilot Knob provide significant local landmarks. The map also documents industrial activity in the region through labels such as Gas Well Rd and Oil Field Rd near Ovapa.
