2011 Map of Robertsburg

About this map

The Kanawha River serves as the central artery for this part of West Virginia, where river-side communities like Robertsburg and Grimms Landing are situated along its banks. The settlement pattern is defined by the narrow river valley and the numerous hollows and ridges that branch away from the water, including Opossum Hollow and Manila Ridge. This area shows a high density of family and community burial grounds, such as the Atkeson Cemetery and Smith Church Cemetery, which are vital for genealogical research in Putnam County. Small outposts like Arbuckle and Waterloo maintain their identity through local landmarks like the Arbuckle Post Office, while the presence of the Leon Airport near Douglas Cemetery indicates the modern infrastructure integrated into this traditional river landscape. The topography is further etched by winding waterways such as Thirteenmile Creek and Eighteenmile Creek, which carve through the elevations of Buffalo Ridge and Calispell Ridge.
