About this map

The Randolph County Courthouse serves as the focal point of Elkins, where the street grid meets the winding course of Tygart Valley River. This 2019 survey documents a landscape of valley settlements including Crystal Springs, Glenmore, and Midland, all framed by the rising elevations of the Monongahela National Forest to the east. The transportation network is a mix of traditional and modern, featuring the Randolph County Railway alongside the Randolph County Airport-Jennings Randolph Field.

Local genealogy and history are well-represented by several large burial grounds, such as Saint Brendans Cem and the Independent Order of Odd Fellows Cem. The topography is defined by prominent ridges like Wildcat Ridge and Cheat Mtn, which direct the flow of numerous waterways like Leading Creek and Shavers Fork. The map also captures the development of community spaces, from the Bike Trail Bridge to the Mountain State Memorial Gardens.
