2023 Map of Wallace
USGS Topo · Published 2023About this map
Wallace and the surrounding hollows of Harrison and Marion counties are defined by a complex network of stream valleys and family cemeteries. The landscape is carved by Little Tenmile Creek and Bingamon Creek, where small settlements like Brown, Dola, and Grangeville follow the winding lowlands. This survey provides a modern view of a region deeply rooted in genealogy, marked by numerous burial grounds such as the Independent Order of Oddfellows Cem, Rittenhouse Cem, and Scritchfield Cem. The distribution of these sites across terrain features like Wolfpit Hollow and Baker Hollow illustrates the historical pattern of family-centered settlement in north-central West Virginia. The presence of Elizabeth Mason Memorial Park near Joetown and various community nodes like Jimtown and Oakdale highlights the enduring nature of these rural Appalachian crossroads.
