About this map

Patterson Creek defines the local geography of this Mineral County landscape, winding past the historic settlement of Headsville and the industrial landmark at Reeses Mill. The map documents a rural network of family-named cemeteries and small watercourses, including Mill Run and Horseshoe Run, reflecting a long history of local land use. Prominent topographic features like Horseshoe Mountain and Slaty Lick Knob overlook the valley, the latter featuring the Slaty Lick Knob Lookout Tower.

Several flood control structures, such as Patterson Creek Structure 37 Dam and Patterson Creek Structure 44 Dam, indicate the region's managed hydrology. For those researching local lineages, the map identifies numerous burial sites including Reece Cemetery, Van Meter Cemetery, and Mineral Baptist Cemetery near the community of Champwood. The presence of Camp Minco and various mountain lanes suggests a quiet, enduring rural character.
