2014 Map of Rockport

About this map

Rockport and its surrounding ridge systems define this West Virginia landscape, where the Southern Highway snakes through a terrain etched by the Tygart Cr and Sandy Run. This modern survey documents a rural infrastructure deeply tied to family and community heritage, evidenced by the high density of upland burial grounds. From the Lowdell Cem near the banks of Pond Cr to the Central Church of Christ Cem atop Central Ridge, the map serves as a detailed guide for genealogists. The convergence of three counties—Wood, Wirt, and Jackson—occurs in the southern portion of the sheet near Limestone Ridge. Local landmarks such as Gates Ridge and Morehead Ridge provide the backbone for a network of country roads, including Old US 21, which remains a primary corridor connecting the small settlements of Lowdell and Windy.
