2014 Map of Elkins

About this map

The Elkins townsite and its surrounding valley floor are framed by the high ridges of the Monongahela National Forest in this 2014 survey. This region of Randolph County shows a dense concentration of educational and community landmarks, centered on the Davis & Elkins Coll campus and several significant cemeteries including Little Arlington Cem and the Independent Order of Odd Fellows Cem. The topography is defined by the Tygart Valley River and Shavers Fork, which carve through the mountainous landscape near Cheat Mtn and Bearpen Ridge. Transportation patterns are anchored by the junction of Us-33, Us-219, and the rail corridor at Elkins Junction, while smaller settlements like Highland Park, Leadsville, and Glenmore trace the residential expansion into the surrounding hillsides.
