About this map

The Kanawha River dictates the settlement pattern and industry of this Putnam County region, where the Winfield Locks and Dam serves as a critical maritime infrastructure point. Along the banks, established communities like Winfield, Buffalo, and Eleanor are linked by a network of river-road corridors including Winfield Rd and Buffalo Rd. The topographic data reveals a landscape defined by sharp ridges such as Luikart Ridge and Cross Creek Ridge, separated by numerous hollows and creek beds that feed into the main waterway.

Genealogists and local historians will find a dense concentration of burial sites, from the prominent Winfield Cem and Buffalo Memorial Park to smaller family or community plots like Giles-Stern Cem and Hodges Cem. The presence of landmarks such as the Winfield Bridge and the Lower Buffalo Bridge highlights the evolving connectivity between the river's eastern and western banks in the early 21st century.
