About this map

The Cheat River carves a dramatic path through the heart of Tucker County, creating the prominent Horseshoe Bend near the settlement of Saint George. This 1990s record, based on topographical data compiled in the mid-century, reveals a landscape defined by isolated mountain ridges and deeply cut stream valleys within the Monongahela National Forest. Small communities and family landmarks are scattered throughout the Saint George District and Licking District, often centered around country churches such as Macedonia Ch and Limestone Ch.

The maps details the rural infrastructure of the era, from the riverside flats of Holly Meadows to the high ground of Limestone Mountain. Genealogists and local historians can locate early educational and religious sites including the Pleasant Vale School and Bethel Cemetery. The drainage network is particularly intricate, with numerous runs like Licking Creek and Jonathan Run feeding into the main river valley, illustrating the challenging terrain that shaped local settlement patterns.
