2019 Map of Walkersville

About this map

Walkersville Covered Bridge spans the Right Fork West Fork River, serving as a central landmark for this rural region where Lewis, Braxton, and Upshur counties meet. The landscape is defined by its deep hollows and high knobs, such as Devils Darning Needle and Cochran Knob, which separate the many small settlements and family farmsteads. In the north, Walkersville and Crawford are connected by Walkersville Road, while farther south the drainage shifts toward the Little Kanawha River near Bablin and Wildcat. Genealogists will find several notable burial sites including Pickens Cemetery near Duffy and Green Hill Cemetery. The mapping reveals a complex network of county routes and trails like the Bennett Run Trail, following the winding watercourses of Glady Creek and Leatherbark Run through the dense Appalachian topography.
