About this map

The Little Kanawha River winds through this central West Virginia landscape, its waters backing into the intricate coves of Burnsville Lake. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent ridges and knobs, including Buck Knob, Kings Knob, and Cedar Knob, creating a complex network of narrow valleys and hollows. Historic routes like the Gauley Tpke cross the area, connecting small settlements such as Bulltown and Falls Mill.

Genealogists and local historians will find several burial sites throughout the hills, from the Knawl Creek Cem near Knawl to the Highwood Cem and Riffle Cem. The presence of numerous named trails, such as the Ridge Runner Trail and Warriors Trail, indicates a landscape that remains deeply tied to its natural contours and historical pathways even as modern recreation and infrastructure have reshaped the valley floors.
