2016 Map of Saint George

About this map

The Cheat River carves a winding path through this portion of the Monongahela National Forest, defining the geography of Tucker County. Small riverside settlements like Saint George and Holly Meadows occupy the narrow flatlands, connected by the prominent Saint George Bridge. The map reveals a landscape of high ridges and deep hollows, such as Coon Hollow and Horseshoe Bend, where local life is anchored by family-named landmarks and upland cemeteries. Genealogical interest is concentrated in the numerous burial grounds scattered across the terrain, including Bethel Cem, Bonifield Cem, and Limestone Cem. Further north, the tiny community of Hannahsville sits near the confluence of Licking Cr, illustrating the historical reliance on watercourse junctions for early mountain habitation. These features, along with names like Mt Zion Ridge and Limestone Mtn, document a traditional West Virginia mountain community structure persisting into the 21st century.
