Historical


Geographical Center of WV


ExploreWV Coin



The geographical center of West Virginia lies just outside the town of Sutton. Located in the heart of the state in Braxton County, Sutton offers something for everyone. Outlet malls in Flatwoods feature clothing stores for every member of the family plus a short drive off I-79 will take you to Sutton Lake, which is a perfect spot for fishing or boating. The town of Sutton is also rich in charm and features plenty of boutiques, craft shops, and year-round festivals. For more information on the town of Sutton and the geographical center of West Virginia, visit GeocacheWV or Braxton County.

When you arrive at the posted coordinates you will be near a Historic Marker. This marker contains the information necessary to solve the following puzzle:

N38 39.(4,1) (4,1) (1,3)
W080 41.(6,5) (2,4) (1,3)

The cache is 2.7 miles away...if you are a crow!

You will be seeking a small lock-and-lock container. There will be a label under the lid with a little fact about the area and the code word needed for documentation in the Playbook. Please use etiquette and be courteous when Geocaching and place the container exactly where you found it.

You can check your answers for this puzzle on Geochecker.com.



A special thanks goes to BraxtonWV for placing and maintaining this cache!
