About this map

Paden City sits prominently along the Ohio River in this 2016 survey, occupying a flat stretch of land across from Witten Towhead and the dense slopes of the Wayne National Forest. The map detail captures the transition from the riverfront industry and grid of the city to the winding ridges of the West Virginia interior. Following Paden Fork and the Willows Fork inland reveals a landscape defined by steep hills and deep hollows, such as Laney Hollow, where small communities and family cemeteries remain tucked away.

Further south, the meandering Middle Island Creek creates a distinct topography near Middlebourne, where the terrain flattens slightly around settlements like Kidwell and Pursley. Local history is preserved through the numerous family burial grounds and small church sites, including Greenwood Cem and Oakwood Cem. This survey provides a modern look at the persistent road networks and traditional land divisions in Tyler County, from the high vantage point of Starkey Ridge down to the creek-side community of Adonis.
