2011 Map of Schultz

About this map

Cloverdale Cemetery and Cloverdale anchor the northern reaches of this Pleasants County landscape, where deep hollows and narrow ridges dictate the pattern of rural West Virginia life. The topography is defined by the complex drainage of French Creek and the southern Goose Creek system, creating a patchwork of small upland communities like Calcutta, Schultz, and Lone Valley. For genealogists, the map preserves the locations of numerous family-linked landmarks, including the Ingram Ridge Cemetery and Layfields Cemetery. The layout of the road network, including Schultz Rd and King Ridge Rd, follows the natural contours of prominent high ground such as Hardy Hill Cunningham Ridge and Pigskin Ridge, illustrating how the terrain has historically restricted movement to the spines of the hills and the floors of the runs.
