About this map

The Doddridge County Courthouse stands as the central landmark in West Union, situated along the meandering banks of Middle Island Creek. This 2023 survey illustrates the modern layout of the county seat, where traditional settlements like Central Station, Duckworth, and Deep Valley are linked by a dense network of secondary roads and the recreational North Bend Rail-Trl.

Genealogists can find several family-named burial sites across the ridges and hollows, including Piggott Cem, Ruley Cem, and Fleming Cem. The landscape is defined by its deep drainages, from the confluence of Arnold Creek and Nutter Fork to the waters of Crystal Lake. The presence of the Mason Memorial Park and various ridges like Duckworth Ridge and Wilbur Ridge highlights the region's enduring rural character and topographic complexity.
