2018 Map of Elamville

About this map

The Pea River carves a winding path along the western boundary of Barbour and Pike counties, defining the agricultural character of this landscape in late 2015. Several small rural communities, including Elamville, Doster, and Bethel, anchor the local road network, which is dominated by routes like Co RD 83 and River RD. For those tracing local family histories, the area is punctuated by numerous family and community burial grounds such as Richland Cem, Dansby Cem, and Carr Cem. The map illustrates a landscape of intermittent streams like Beaver Cr and Thompson Cr, alongside specific landmarks like Joiners Bridge and Barefoot Spring. The presence of Burke Ponds and Easterlings Pond near the various drainage branches highlights the hydrological importance of the region's lowlands and wetlands for the surrounding farms and woodlands.
