ESTEP BRANCH CEMETERY

Estep Branch Cemetery  can be reached by traveling  Route # 10 toward Logan. Turn  left from Rt.#10 onto the Green Shoal Road which will lead you to the main Big Ugly Road ( this turn off is about 9 miles from Chapmanville).Follow the main Big Ugly Road until you see a sign on the right side of the road labled " Estep Branch". Turn right  and just follow the dirt road until you reach a gate.The gate won't be locked, so continue along this road until you come to where the road "forks" and stay right. This road will take you to the cemetery. Thanks to Billy Adkins for helping with the annotations on this page. Bridgette
