About this map

The Kanawha River carves a deep valley through this Mason and Putnam County landscape, serving as the primary corridor for transportation and settlement between Leon and Buffalo. Along the eastern banks, the winding Charleston Rd connects riverfront hamlets like Arbuckle and Grimms Landing, while the interior hills are dotted with family-named landmarks and cemeteries including Riffle Chapel Cem and Manilla Cem. The geography is defined by a dense network of ridges and hollows, such as Wildcat Ridge and Boardman Hollow, which dictate the paths of numerous waterways like Thirteenmile Creek and Sixteenmile Creek. This map reveals a rural West Virginia community shaped by its hydrology, where small crossings like the Nat Truss Bridge and historically significant routes like Leon Ferry Ln facilitate movement through the dissected plateau.
