About this map

Teays Valley serves as a central hub in this modern survey of Putnam County, illustrating the significant residential and infrastructure development along the Interstate 64 corridor. The landscape is characterized by a network of drainage systems like Hurricane Creek and Poplar Fork, which carve through the hilly terrain typical of this part of West Virginia. The map provides excellent detail for genealogists and local historians, documenting numerous family and community burial grounds including Middleton Cem, Bowling Cem, and Hodges Cem.

Transportation patterns are defined by the convergence of major routes at Scott Depot, where the legacy of early road systems meets modern highway expansion. Notable natural features such as Hickory Knob and Coal Mountain rise above the suburban growth, while numerous named springs like Wyant Spring and Mercer Spring indicate the complex hydrology of the region. The map also delineates the county line between Putnam and Kanawha, providing a clear view of the jurisdictional boundaries in the late 2010s.
