About this map

Tanner and the winding Little Kanawha River anchor this topographic study of Gilmer County, where the landscape is defined by a dense network of creek valleys and ridges. The river corridor serves as a primary artery for local life, flanked by the settlement at Kanawha Drive and several family burying grounds, including the Riddle Cem and Woodford Cem. This 2014 data shows how traditional Appalachian settlement patterns persist, with small communities like De Kalb, Hardman, and Withers situated near the intersections of major runs and county roads.

Evidence of the region's spiritual and genealogical history is found throughout the hills, from the Baptist Church Cem in the north to the Turner Cem near the southern boundary. Significant terrain features, notably Big Pine Knob, rise above the drainage systems of Cedar Creek and Hardman Fork. The area's geography remains largely rural, connected by a intricate web of routes such as the Burnsville-Glenville-Grantsville road.
