About this map

Valley Point and its neighboring communities in Preston County are defined by the deep, winding course of the Cheat River, which carves a significant path through the center of this landscape. To the north, the terrain is dotted with small settlements like Rockville, Hudson, and Sugar Valley, often linked by high-elevation roads such as Sugar Valley Rd and Harmony Grove Rd. These upland areas contrast with the steep descents toward the river, where numerous tributaries like Big Sandy Creek, Bull Run, and Huckleberry Run feed into the main waterway.

Evidence of local history and community life is visible in the placement of Mount Moriah Cem near the Valley Point Airport and Beech Run Cem further south. The southern portion of the sheet transitions through Hogback Ridge toward Pleasantdale and Ruthbelle, where Muddy Creek and Roaring Cr intersect the local road network. The presence of the Allegheny Trail (Section 1), including segments marked as closed, highlights the area's role in regional backcountry transit through these steep West Virginia hills.
