Here is a sweet and simple map, the first hit on a Google search.
at the Old Brick Church Cemetery and that the
“Tygart's Valley Presbyterian Church, organized in 1820.
A brick building erected three-fourths mile west
at the cemetery was destroyed by Union soldiers
in 1862-1863 and the bricks used
for building flues at the winter quarters.” [1]
“The Brick Church was destroyed by Union Forces during the Civil War,
who wanted (and needed) the bricks for their winter encampment
on nearby Cheat Mountain. There is a historical marker on Cheat Mountain
identifying the site of the winter encampment and documenting
the use of the bricks from the church.
The Brick Church sat on a knoll south of Huttonsville,
on land that is now surrounded by the W. Va. State Correctional Center.”
Referenced in the “Pioneer Index of Randoph County (1753-1883)

still today, the only maps they have been shown have been through me.
