About this map

The Middle Fork River winds through this West Virginia landscape, crossing the borders of Upshur, Barbour, and Randolph counties. This mountainous area is defined by a series of small, dispersed settlements such as Ellamore, Kingsville, and Pumpkintown that are connected by a network of rural routes and river crossings. Historically significant locations for genealogists include the Mount Zion Cem near Vegan and the Durrett Cem located south of Yokum.

Modern recreation and long-standing landmarks meet at the Middle Fork River Trail Bridge and the Ellamore School Spring. The terrain is marked by distinct features like Deen Knob and Chestnut Flats, with several streams like Sand Fork and Laurel Run feeding into the river system. The presence of Finegan Ford indicates the traditional river-crossing points that once dictated travel patterns through these high-elevation valleys.
