About this map

Pleasants and the surrounding hill country sit at a crossroads of the Pleasants Co Ritchie Co border, where the landscape is defined by a dense network of creek valleys and ridges. This territory is marked by small settlements like Glendale, Calcutta, and Poynette, each connected by narrow county roads that follow the winding paths of French Cr and Goose Cr. Family and community history is anchored to high ground, with sites such as Ingram Ridge Cem and Cloverdale Cem overlooking the drainage basins of Layfields Run and Meadow Run. The southern edge of the map shows the corridor for Us-50, providing a modern transport contrast to the older ridge routes like Abby Ridge Rd and Pigskin Ridge. The convergence of Pleasants Co Wood Co and Ritchie County boundaries near the headwaters of Bull Creek highlights the complex political geography of this rural West Virginia region.
