2023 Map of Rock Cave
USGS Topo · Published 2023About this map
Rock Cave and the upper reaches of the Little Kanawha River define this rural landscape in West Virginia's Upshur County. The area is characterized by high ridges like Mulberry Ridge, Pleasant Ridge, and Heaston Ridge, which separate a dense network of creek valleys. Small settlements and crossroads such as Frenchton, Arlington, Gaines, and Kanawha Head serve as the primary hubs for the region's residents. For genealogists, the map identifies several local burial sites, including Rock Cave Cem, Mount Zion Cem, and Pleasant Dale Cem. A notable geographic feature is the The Fishpond near the center of the sheet, while prominent elevations like Big Run Knob and Prit Mountain provide significant vertical relief. The transport network relies heavily on county routes that follow the winding contours of the terrain, connecting the scattered communities of Holly Grove, Carter, and Evergreen.
