About this map

Indian Creek and its many tributaries, including Slate Run and Laurel Creek, define the central geography of this Monroe County landscape. The settlement of Greenville sits at a crossroads near the creek, serving as a focal point for a region characterized by high ridges and narrow valleys. Further north, the terrain becomes more dramatic at Stony Creek Gorge, where Stony Creek cuts through War Ridge. Local history is preserved in the placement of several small cemeteries such as Oak Grove Cemetery near Ballengee and Wayside Cemetery at the village of Wayside.

Genealogists and local historians will find value in the specific family-named landmarks and water sources, such as Woodrum Spring near Johnson Crossroads and Silas Gore Spring to the southwest. The presence of the Laurel Creek Covered Bridge near Sarton highlights the traditional infrastructure that remains a fixture of this rural West Virginian county. The map also traces various high points like High Top and Kibble Hill, which overlook the dispersed homesteads along Hans Creek and Ellison Ridge.
