About this map

Webster Springs serves as the focal point of this highland survey, situated at the confluence of the Elk River and the Back Fork Elk River. The town's civic heart is marked by the Webster County Courthouse, while the surrounding landscape is defined by the steep rises of Payne Knob and Point Mtn. Local infrastructure is anchored by the Kenney-B. Hamrick Sr. Memorial Bridge, facilitating travel across the waterways that historically shaped these mountain communities.

Deep in the Monongahela National Forest, smaller settlements such as Bolair and Dyer are established along the Gauley River and Williams River corridors. For family historians, numerous burial sites are documented across the ridges, including the Sand Run Baptist Church Cem, Lynch Point Cem, and Adam Miller Cem. The map illustrates a traditional Appalachian settlement pattern where development remains closely tied to the narrow river valleys and accessible gaps between high points like the Gauley Divide.
