2010 Map of Orlando

About this map

The Little Kanawha River and the expansive waters of Burnsville Lake dominate this central West Virginia landscape, reflecting a region reshaped by mid-twentieth-century water management projects. The Burnsville Lake Dam regulates the flow where the river meets Triplets Run and Little Knawl Creek, creating a complex shoreline that borders small settlements such as Napier, Bulltown, and Orlando. The terrain is defined by prominent high points including Hog Knob and Cedar Knob, while narrow hollows are traced by an intricate network of secondary routes like the Gauley Tpke and Millstone Run Rd. For those researching local family history, the map provides precise locations for numerous burial grounds, including the Orlando Cem, Casto Cemetery, and Fleming Cemetery. These cemeteries, often positioned on ridges or near old road junctions like Wine Gap, serve as the primary markers of the area's rural heritage and early settlement patterns.
