2019 Map of Pipestem

About this map

Bluestone National Scenic River winds through the deep gorges of Summers and Mercer counties, illustrating a landscape defined by the confluence of the Bluestone River and the New River. Small settlements like Pipestem and True occupy the higher ridges, connected by winding mountain roads such as Co Rte 20. The map reveals a high concentration of recreational and natural preservation infrastructure, including the Overlook Trail and Big Pine Trail, which offer access to the wild corridors of Suck Creek and Pipestem Creek. Near the southern boundary, the settlement of Lerona marks the transition toward flatter plateau land. Along the river bottoms, locations like Crumps Bottom and Farley sit near Bull Falls, showing the historic importance of these waterways for navigation and early transit. Family history is preserved at the Snider Cemetery and Barton Cemetery, while Sun Valley Lake represents more modern water management in this high-elevation terrain.
