2014 Map of Sissonville

About this map

Liberty and Goldtown anchor this central West Virginia landscape where the Pocatalico River and its numerous tributaries carve through the complex ridge-and-hollow terrain. The map reveals a dense network of family-named landmarks and rural burial grounds, including the Boggess Family Cem and the Albert E. Humphreys Memorial Cem. This 2014 survey documents the convergence of Putnam and Kanawha counties, illustrating how modern roadways like WV 34 and McClane Pike follow the natural contours of the land. The concentration of cemeteries, such as Kelly Creek Church Cem and Asbury Cem, provides significant value for genealogical research, pinpointing ancestral locations across Phillips Hollow and Sayre Hollow. The settlement pattern remains largely confined to the valleys, with Sissonville and Millertown situated along the river's lower reaches.
