Site Locator for West Virginia SITE LOCATOR FOR WEST VIRGINIA GHOST TOWNS OLD FORTS INDIAN SITES BAITLEFI ELDS OVER 525 SITES IDENTIFIED AND ACCURATELY LOCATED ALL YOU NEED IS A ROAD MAP YOUR METAL DETECTOR DISCLAIMER While every attempt is made to maintain accuracy, the authors, GOLDDIGGER and Mosquito Publications assume no responsibility or liability for inaccurate, incorrect or Missing information. It is recommended that the user of this product perform his/her Own research to further increase the knowledge of a site. We strongly recommend that permission of the owner of any site be obtained prior to a search. FEDERAL LAWS In addition to the ARPA Laws, an additional Federal law called "Abandoned Shipwreck Act of 1987" is in effect and is being enforced. This law gives the individual States control over historic shipwrecks lying within 3 miles of the Atlantic and Pacific Coasts and 10 miles off of the Gulf Coast. DISTANCE MEASUREMENTS NOTE: All distance measurements for sites are direct from point A to point B and are NOT road measurements. Distance measurements are taken from the center of one point to the center of the center of the other. Linear measurements are usually accurate to one tenth mile (1/10th mile) while Latitude and Longitude coordinates are accurate to one thousandth of one minute, which equates to approximately 30 feet, depending on the accuracy of your GPS. WHAT IS A GHOST TOWN? There have been many inquiries as to how we have determined what establishes the parameters for ghost town status. While the dictionary definition is not satisfactory for our usage, Mosquito Publishing has used the following: That a town or settlement was at one time a thriving and viable community. That it subsequently declined to the point that it was virtually abandoned or deserted. It was a rule of thumb that communities were established on good land. That being the case, even though the original town may have declined to ghost town status, as modern communities expand, they often cover the site of the previous settlement. This occurrence is happening more rapidly as our population expands. The site would still be considered as a ghost town site, even if covered by modern construction and no visible signs of the original town exists.

  • Stage Stores Adopts Benefitfocus HR INTOUCH MARKETPLACE
    September 25, 2014 Stage Stores Adopts Benefitfocus HR INTOUCH MARKETPLACE Leading neighborhood retailer to leverage Marketplace + Administration solution as part of retention and total compensation strategy CHARLESTON, S.C., Sept. 25, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Benefitfocus, Inc. (NASDAQ: BNFT), a leading provider of cloud-based benefits software solutions, today announced that Stage Stores, Inc. has adopted Benefitfocus HR INTOUCH MARKETPLACE® to support its benefits administration strategy in light of the Affordable Care Act (ACA). Stage Stores selected Benefitfocus because of the HR INTOUCH MARKETPLACE portal's ability to automate the transmission of data across multiple systems, which will facilitate ACA compliance checks and eliminate the need for manual updates. Headquartered in Houston, TX, Stage Stores operates nearly 850 department stores across 40 states under the Bealls, Goody's, Palais Royal, Peebles and Stage nameplates. The Texas-based retailer has approximately 14,500 total employees and 6,000 full-time employees. With the remaining workforce population made up of part-time and variable hour employees, Stage Stores is presented with the challenge of calculating look-back periods to comply with the ACA's Employer Shared Responsibility Provision. HR INTOUCH MARKETPLACE is designed to accommodate the reality that everyone is eligible for some type of benefit and can become eligible for employer-sponsored health plans based on the ACA's look-back provision. Through data integration and reporting capabilities, the portal provides access to tools for monitoring eligibility and notifying newly eligible employees of their enrollment options. "As a retailer operating primarily in small and mid-sized communities, part of our retention strategy is to provide benefits education that conveys the value we offer to employees," explained Cindy Kothmann, Vice President of Benefits, Compensation and HR Administration at Stage Stores.

  • Springs, Source Water Areas, and Potential for High-Yield Aquifers Along the Cacapon Mountain Anticline, Morgan County, WV
    Springs, source water areas, and potential for high-yield aquifers along the Cacapon Mountain anticline, Morgan County, WV Joseph J. Donovan Eberhard Werner Dorothy J. Vesper Lacoa Corder Hydrogeology Research Center West Virginia Water Research Institute West Viriginia University Final Report, Project HRC-3 May 2006 Abstract An investigation was made of high-yield water resources of Morgan County, focusing specifically on the Helderberg-Tonoloway-Wills Creek limestone units. These plus the associated underlying Silurian clastic rocks are thought to constitute a groundwater flow system, here referred to as the Cacapon Mountain aquifer. It lies between sandstone aquitards of the Tuscarora and Oriskany formations and flanks both sides of the Cacapon Mountain Anticline. The purpose of the investigation is to characterize the eastern side of this potential high-yield aquifer and identify its hydrogeological elements that may be critical to its development. Objectives include physical and chemical inventory/characterization of springs >10 gpm; identification of aquifer boundaries; hydrogeological mapping; chemical sampling of selected springs; and flow/chemical monitoring of 3 groundwater discharges in different portions of the aquifer. Results include location of wells in and springs discharging from the aquifer in Cold Run Valley. The aquifer may be subdivided into four compartments of groundwater movement based on inferred directions of groundwater flow. The largest of these is the Sir Johns Run catchment, which collects groundwater discharge at a nearly linear rate and discharges to the Potomac. The other three compartments discharge to tributaries of Sleepy Creek via water gaps in Warm Springs Ridge. During measurements in fall 2004, discharge via Sir Johns Run near its mouth was 6.75 cfs, suggesting that aquifer-wide, in excess of 10 cfs may be available throughout the study area for additional development.

DEPARTMENT OP THE INTEKIOR, UNITED STATES GEOLOGICAL SURVEY, Washington, D. C. , March 9, 190Jh SIR: I have the honor to transmit herewith, for publication as a bulletin, a gazetteer of West Virginia! Very respectfully, HENRY GANNETT, Geogwvpher. Hon. CHARLES D. WALCOTT, Director United States Geological Survey. 3 A GAZETTEER OF WEST VIRGINIA. HENRY GANNETT. DESCRIPTION OF THE STATE. The State of West Virginia was cut off from Virginia during the civil war and was admitted to the Union on June 19, 1863. As orig­ inally constituted it consisted of 48 counties; subsequently, in 1866, it was enlarged by the addition -of two counties, Berkeley and Jeffer­ son, which were also detached from Virginia. The boundaries of the State are in the highest degree irregular. Starting at Potomac River at Harpers Ferry,' the line follows the south bank of the Potomac to the Fairfax Stone, which was set to mark the headwaters of the North Branch of Potomac River; from this stone the line runs due north to Mason and Dixon's line, i. e., the southern boundary of Pennsylvania; thence it follows this line west to the southwest corner of that State, in approximate latitude 39° 43i' and longitude 80° 31', and from that corner north along the western boundary of Pennsylvania until the line intersects Ohio River; from this point the boundary runs southwest down the Ohio, on the northwestern bank, to the mouth of Big Sandy River.

The immediate effects were almost all negative. During the early war years the canal failed to share in the general prosperity which came to the northern states. One reason for its failure to secure much of the increased trade was that it was not a through route to the transmontane west, thereby limiting its portion of the heavy east-west traffic.
