About this map

Saint George sits at a significant bend of the Cheat River, where numerous mountain runs converge in this Tucker County landscape. The river's winding path creates distinctive landforms like Horseshoe Bend, south of which lies the settlement of Holly Meadows and the recreation site of Camp Kidd. The area's topography is defined by high ridges such as Limestone Mountain and White Ridge, which overlook a network of watercourses including Licking Creek and Clover Run.

Genealogical interest is centered on several small rural burial grounds like Bonifield Cemetery near Coon Hollow and Mount Olivet Cemetery further north. Scattered communities like Hannahsville, Auvil, and Pleasant Vale are connected by a system of country roads, including Location RD and Scales RD. The transition from river bottomlands to peaks like Nestor Mountian provides a clear view of the settlement patterns where farming and small-town life follow the valley floors.
