About this map

Sutton Lake and the winding Elk River dominate this Central West Virginia landscape, where the rising waters shaped the settlement patterns of the late 20th century. Several small communities including Newville, Palmer, and Holly are situated along the river's various forks, connected by a network of rural routes like Corley Rd and Holly Rd. The topography is characterized by prominent ridges such as Morrison Ridge and Middle Ridge, which separate the numerous runs and creeks feeding into the larger river systems.

Local history and genealogy are preserved in numerous family and community burial grounds, including the Newville Cemetery, Hamner Cemetery, and Kniceley Cemetery. The map also details early water management infrastructure like the Saltlick Creek Structure Number Seven Dam. Recreational use of the waterway is evident through established sites like the Bakers Run Camping Area and Kanawha Run Camping Area.
