2011 Map of Wileyville

About this map

Little Fishing Creek and its many tributaries, including Hartley Run and Steel Run, define the complex network of hollows and ridges throughout this northern West Virginia landscape. Small settlements and crossroads like Wileyville, Saint Joseph, and Newdale are connected by a web of county highways that follow the high ground of Taylor Ridge, Greenfield Ridge, and Macedonia Ridge. This 2011 survey reveals a high density of family and community burial grounds, such as Pleasant Ridge Cemetery, Harland Cemetery, and Yoho Cemetery, which provide critical touchpoints for genealogical research in this rural pocket. The distribution of sites like Peabody and Dulaney alongside watercourses such as Bark Camp Run and Lynn Camp Run reflects a settlement pattern deeply tied to the local hydrology and topographic relief of the Allegheny Plateau.
