About this map

Calcutta and Maxwell sit within a landscape defined by the converging borders of Pleasants, Ritchie, and Wood counties in West Virginia. This region is characterized by a dense network of drainages such as French Cr and Schultz Run, which have carved deep hollows like Adams Hollow between prominent heights including Kings Ridge and Pigskin Ridge. The settlement pattern follows these narrow valley floors and ridgelines, connected by rural routes like Pike Rd and Nutter Farm Rd.

Genealogists will find several family-named burial sites scattered across the ridges, including the Bills Family Cem, Ingram Ridge Cem, and Layfields Cem. These landmarks, along with small communities like Schultz and Glendale, reflect a long-standing rural structure where upland farms and creek-side settlements have endured for generations. The map also documents the winding course of the Goose Cr as it traverses the southern portion of the quadrangle.
