2016 Map of Ellenboro

About this map

Ellenboro serves as a central hub in this western Ritchie County landscape, where the Larry Hacker Memorial Bridge spans the modern infrastructure that parallels the older path of Old US Hwy 50. The terrain is defined by a dense network of runs and hollows, such as Church Hollow and Brooks Hollow, which dictate the winding paths of rural routes like Co Rte 30. Small settlements and named locales including Highland, Finch, and Pike are scattered across the ridges and valley floors, often centered around watercourses like Bonds Creek and McKim Creek. The map provides significant detail for local historians, documenting several burial sites such as Nine Mile Cem near Maxwell and Fairmont Cem further south. These landmarks, along with features like Pigskin Ridge, illustrate the persistent settlement patterns of this Appalachian region.
