Burnsville Lake dominates this central West Virginia landscape, where the waters of the Little Kanawha River system branch out into numerous runs and forks across the Lewis and Braxton county line. The map highlights a network of small, scattered communities like Orlando, Knawl, and Bulltown, connected by historic routes such as the Gauley Tpke. Genealogists will find a high density of family burial grounds, including Casto Cem, Riffle Cem, and Ratcliff Cem, which anchor the hillsides above the lake’s shoreline. The area's recreational and industrial character is evident through the extensive trail systems like the Warriors Trail and Original WGBTP Trail, alongside the presence of Gas Wells. Landmarks such as the Bulltown Bridge and the community of Falls Mill mark significant crossings and former milling sites in this deeply dissected terrain.
