2019 Map of Rosedale

About this map

The Right Fork Steer Cr and its complex network of tributaries dictate the settlement pattern of this West Virginia landscape, where small communities follow the winding valley floors. At the intersection of Braxton, Gilmer, Calhoun, and Clay counties, the map highlights the proximity of rural hamlets like Rosedale and Tague, connected by narrow routes such as Hamric Rd and Tague Rd. The presence of numerous family and church burial grounds, including the Earl Miller Cem and Mollohan Cem, provides essential points of interest for genealogists tracing lineage in the area. High points like Boar Knob and Potato Knob rise above hollows like Brushy Hollow, illustrating the deeply dissected topography that defines the region. Religious life is centered at the Elmira Baptist Church near Elmira, while other small clusters like Dingy and Dessie mark long-standing rural neighborhoods along the southern portion of the quadrangle.
