About this map

Boone Furnace and Charlotte Furnace stand as industrial landmarks in this rural landscape, reflecting the region's historical iron production. The terrain is deeply carved by water, with Tygarts Cr serving as a central artery for several small communities. Settlements such as Gesling, Iron Hill, Deevert, and Kehoe are connected by a network of winding roads like Old 3 Prong Rd and Lower Grassy Rd.

Family history is preserved in numerous upland burial grounds, including Everman Cem, Zornes Cem, and Huffman Cem. The map reveals a high density of named geographic features, from Potato Knob to local hollows like Grizzle Hollow and Old She Hollow. Unusual landmarks like the Praise God Airport provide modern contrast to the traditional creek-side settlements and family farmsteads found throughout Tygarts Valley.
