2023 Map of Pocatalico

About this map

Pocatalico River drainage systems define the complex geography of Kanawha County, where northern Charleston and Dunbar transition into the dissected hills of Sissonville and Pocatalico. This recent survey reveals a dense network of county routes and residential expansion into historical hollows, while maintaining a significant record of family and community burial grounds. From the Bailey Tucker Thomas Cem near Lanham to the Layne Cem near the eastern border, the landscape is dotted with small cemeteries that provide essential clues for genealogical research. Notable landmarks include the Tyler Mountain Memory Gardens and the Wine Cellar Nature Trl in the south, while the northern reaches show the evolution of old travel routes along Old US Hwy 21 and the development surrounding Rocky Fork.
