About this map

West Union serves as the focal point of this terrain, where the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad follows the winding path of Middle Island Creek. The map documents the mid-2010s landscape of West Virginia's interior, showing a region defined by narrow valleys and numerous small settlements like Central Station, Deep Valley, and Duckworth. Transportation routes are dictated by the topography, with Us-50 and Old US-50 carving through the hills alongside an intricate network of county roads such as Oxford Rd and Duckworth Rd.

Genealogists will find a high density of family and community burial grounds, including Ruley Cem, Fleming Cem, and Piggott Cem. The presence of Crystal Lake and its surrounding Crystal Lake Cem suggests a shift toward recreational land use amidst the traditional agricultural and industrial valleys. From the high points of Duckworth Ridge to the waters of Arnold Creek, this survey provides a comprehensive view of the area's rural character and established community nodes.
