About this map

The hills and hollows of Harrison County west of Clarksburg reveal a landscape defined by traditional Appalachian drainage patterns, where small communities like Wolf Summit and Marshville grew along the creeks. The N Bend Rail Trail follows the corridor of a former railroad line through the southern portion of the map, passing through Maken and Reynoldsville toward the city. This area is rich in family and community burial grounds, including the Olive Branch Cem, Point Pleasant Cem, and Ash Cem, which provide significant data points for genealogical research.

A notable landmark is the Fletcher Covered Bridge, standing near Salem Fork. The terrain is deeply dissected by numerous runs and creeks, such as Tenmile Creek, Issac Cr, and Katy Lick Run, which have historically dictated the placement of roads and settlements. Larger industrial or recreational footprints like Ruth Field and the community of Sun Valley represent more modern additions to this rural West Virginia setting.
