About this map

The rugged terrain of the Ritchie and Doddridge County border is defined here by the winding forks of the Hughes River. In the mid-1960s, the rural community of Pullman serves as a central hub for the surrounding ridges, while Berea sits to the south at the confluence of the South Fork Hughes River and Otterslide Creek. The landscape is a network of narrow hollows and high points like King Knob and Mt Zion, where local life is anchored by country churches including Mt Pisgah Ch and White Oak Ch.

Industrial activity is integrated into the hillsides, with numerous Gas Wells and Oil Wells peppered across districts like Clay and Union. A Compressor Sta and various pipelines reflect the region's energy infrastructure during this era. Genealogists will find value in the precise locations of family-named landmarks and burial sites such as Taylor Cem and the White Oak Cem, which remain tucked away in the deep valleys of Beason Run and Indian Creek.
