About this map

The Middle Fork River winds through the heart of this Randolph County landscape, serving as the primary geographical axis for small communities like Ellamore, Midvale, and Lantz. This 2011 survey documents a mix of agricultural valley land and forested slopes, where the Weston-Buckhannon-Elkins rail line follows the river's path, connecting industrial and residential hubs. Local history and genealogy interests are well-represented by family-named sites such as Durrett Cemetery and Mount Zion Cemetery, alongside landmarks like the Burnt Bridge and Finegan Ford.

Recreational and social centers are visible through the location of Camp Mahonegan and the historical footprint of Kingsville Station. The map illustrates a network of secondary roads and creeks, including Laurel Creek and Kettle Run, which define the small hollows and ridges that characterize this part of West Virginia. Smaller hamlets like Pumpkintown, Jimtown, and Nebo appear as established points within this rural framework.
