About this map

Summersville Lake dominates the central landscape of Nicholas County, defining the local geography as it winds eastward from the Brooks Bridge crossing. The settlement of Summersville sits to the west, marked by its community institutions including the Catholic Church and Catholic Cemetery. To the east, the rural character of the region is evident in scattered communities like Canvas, which retains its own Canvas Post Office.

Hydrography dictates the settlement pattern, with numerous tributaries such as Muddlety Creek, Glade Creek, and Persinger Creek carving through the terrain. To the north, small hamlets like Hookersville and Muddlety are connected by a network of ridge roads including Chapman Ridge Rd and Peach Orchard Rd. The prominence of Lonetree Mountain overlooks the western valley, providing a distinct landmark for this Appalachian plateau region during the early 21st century.
