About this map

The Cheat River carves a deep path through this corner of Preston County, anchoring a landscape defined by high ridges and winding creek valleys. Near the eastern edge, the community of Valley Point serves as a local hub, situated near the Valley Point Airport and the Mount Moriah Cemetery. This area preserves evidence of early industrial efforts, most notably the Old Virginia Furnace located along Muddy Creek.

Smaller settlements and family-named locales like Rockville, Hudson, and Beech Run are connected by a network of rural routes such as Beech Run Rd and Hudson Rd. Genealogists and local historians can trace former community sites like Hayden and Sutherland, or find landmarks like Chippewa Lake and the Beech Run Cemetery. The map also details the many tributaries feeding the main river, including Sovern Run, Conner Run, and Big Sandy Creek.
