2023 Map of Orlando

About this map

Burnsville Lake dominates the central landscape of this West Virginia terrain, where the Little Kanawha River meets several tributary streams. The map reveals a dense network of early transportation routes, most notably the Gauley Turnpike and the Weston-Gauley Bridge Turnpike Trail, reflecting the area's historical role as a transit corridor through the hills. Small rural settlements like Orlando, Napier, and Bulltown are situated among high points such as Cedar Knob and Buck Knob. For family historians, the abundance of upland burial sites is remarkable, including Gasto Cemetery, Riffles Run Cemetery, and Fleming Cemetery, which sit perched above the winding waters of Henry Run and Chop Fork. The transition from river valley to ridges is sharp, defining the community layouts of Falls Mill and Knawl.
