About this map

Town Creek carves a central path through this landscape, dividing a series of parallel ridges including Warrior Ridge, Polish Mountain, and Green Ridge. The community of Flintstone serves as a primary hub along the historic National Pike, where the Flintstone Post Office remains a central landmark. The settlement pattern is defined by the narrow valleys and hollows that separate these significant heights, with smaller communities like Gilpin, Rush, and Pratt scattered along the primary road corridors.

Genealogists will find numerous family-named landmarks and burial grounds throughout the region, such as Fairview Cemetery, Browning Cemetery, and Lashley Cemetery. The terrain is marked by distinctive features like Grannys Knob and Ravens Den, while the southern reaches of the map show the influence of water management at the Don Pleasant Dam. Numerous branches and runs, including Murley Branch and Black Sulphur Run, feed into the larger creek system, illustrating the complex drainage of this upland area.
