About this map

Saint Bernard Cem and the small settlement of Bealls Mills sit in the north of this Central West Virginia landscape, where the terrain is carved by the Sand Fork and Loveberry Run. The map illustrates a dense network of country roads and trails connecting isolated hollows like Rohrbough Hollow and Camden Hollow. Many of these routes follow the natural drainage patterns of Oil Creek and Canoe Run, reflecting the area's agricultural and resource-based development.

At the boundary where Lewis Co meets Gilmer Co and Braxton Co, communities such as Bennett, Peterson, and Aspinall occupy the valley floors. High points including Rush Knob and Pine Knob overlook the West Fork River at the eastern edge. Local history is etched into the names of the landscape, from the Hevener's Orchard Trail to the Coal Hollow Trail, showing how land use and family legacies remain visible in the contemporary road and trail systems.
