West Fork River winds through the heart of this central West Virginia landscape, anchoring several established communities and family homesteads. The town of West Milford serves as a primary hub, while smaller settlements like Goodhope, Lightburn, and Jarvisville are linked by a complex network of county routes and rural roads. For those researching local lineage, the terrain is dotted with numerous burial grounds including Rose Hill Cem and Mausoleum, New Bethel Cem, and Duck Creek Cem. The geography is defined by deep drainages such as Sycamore Cr and Buffalo Cr, which flow through valleys like Bates Hollow. This 2019 survey documents a region where contemporary infrastructure, such as Buffalo Lake Rd, overlays a traditional Appalachian settlement pattern defined by the rugged topography of Harrison and Lewis counties.
