2019 Map of Ellamore

About this map

The Middle Fork River defines the landscape of this region, winding through the borderlands of Barbour, Randolph, and Upshur counties. This rugged terrain is dotted with small rural settlements and homesteads, many connected by historical routes like Us Rte 33 and Talbott Rd. Local history is centered around community hubs such as Ellamore, where the Ellamore School and nearby Spring indicate a once-concentrated township activity. The map reveals a high density of named crossings and hollows, from Finegan Ford to Sand Run, reflecting a topography where watercourses dictated the placement of roads and residences. Genealogists may find interest in several family-named landmarks and cemeteries, including Mount Zion Cem near Vegan and Durrett Cem near Talbott. The presence of the Middle Fork River Trail Bridge near Midvale highlights the intersection of modern recreation with older transit corridors like the Service Run and Devil Run valleys.
