1965 Map of Orlando

USGS Topo · Published 1989

About this map

The Little Kanawha River winds through the borderlands of Braxton and Lewis Counties, a landscape defined by sharp ridges and deep hollows like Flesher Run and Riffle Run. This mid-century survey captures a rural Appalachian network of family-named landmarks and small settlements including Orlando and Napier. Genealogists will find numerous local burial grounds such as Ratcliff Cem and Casto Cem, alongside community anchors like St Michaels Ch and the Long Run Sch. The 1989 revisions highlight the creation of the Burnsville Lake Public Hunting and Fishing Area, where the rising waters of the reservoir began to reshape the valley south of Saltlick. Numerous gas and oil wells pepper the hillsides of Collins Settlement, documenting the region's enduring reliance on natural resource extraction alongside traditional farming.
