About this map

The Middle Fork River carves through this upland region on the border of Randolph, Upshur, and Barbour counties, anchoring a network of small settlements and family landmarks. The community of Ellamore serves as a central point, notable for the Ellamore School and the nearby Ellamore School Spring. Historically significant sites like Finegan Ford on the river and the Vegan-Mt Zion Church highlight the rural development of the area, while family names are preserved at the Mount Zion Cem and Durrett Cem.

Transport and terrain dictate the layout of this landscape, with Us Rte 33 cutting across the northern portion past Yokum and Gormley. To the south, smaller hamlets like Pumpkintown and Gale are situated along winding routes like Co Rte 20. The map documents numerous watercourses including Laurel Creek and Kittle Run, illustrating how the drainage patterns of the Allegheny plateau shaped the location of crossroads such as Lantz and Midvale.
