 From there, the Eastern District continues eastward to the original boundary of Washington District, where it turns south until it reaches Mill Creek.At Mill Creek, the boundary runs westward along the creek, encircles the town of Ripley, nearly all of which is in the Eastern District, then runs south along the Charleston Road, Pleasant Valley Road, and Jim Ridge Road to the county line.Because redistricting proved confusing with county records, the West Virginia Legislature provided for the original magisterial districts to continue in the form of tax districts, which continued to serve administrative functions other than the apportionment of county officials.
