About this map

Hurricane and Teays Valley anchor this West Virginia landscape, situated where the Putnam Co and Kanawha Co lines meet. The terrain is defined by a dense network of water sources, from the prominent Hurricane Lake and Lake Washington to numerous family-named springs such as Leyton Fisher Spring, Ervan Comer Junior Place Spring, and the Mercer Spring group. These labels suggest a legacy of rural landholdings and local water rights that persisted even as residential development expanded along the Teays Valley corridor.

Transport routes like Maccorkle Ave SW and various county roads, including Co Rte 13 and Co Rte 33, connect the established communities of Teays and Scott Depot. Higher elevations are marked by Coal Mtn and Hickory Knob, overlooking hollows such as Kirk Hollow and Wells Hollow. The map serves as a vital record for genealogists, identifying several small burial grounds including Bowling Cem, Middleton Cem, and Hodges Cem.
