About this map

Wesleyville (P O) and its surrounding hill country define this topographic record along the border of Lewis and Carter Counties. The landscape is a complex network of hollows and creek forks, where small settlements like McGlone and Rooney are connected by narrow valley roads. The social fabric of the mid-century is evident in the distribution of rural landmarks, including the Stafford Hill Sch and the Oakland Ch.

Stream networks such as Kinniconick Creek and Brushy Creek dictated the placement of early homesteads and family cemeteries, including Sexton Cem and Fults Cem. To the southeast, the terrain transitions toward the distinctive geology of Carter Caves State Park, providing a sharp contrast to the agricultural pockets and small-scale timber lands found elsewhere on the map. This survey serves as an essential reference for locating vanished post offices and namesake schools like the Boone Sch before modern highway development altered these interior routes.
