About this map

Doddtown and Kettle anchor this section of the West Virginia landscape, where the border between Roane Co and Kanawha Co winds through a dense network of hollows and ridges. The map reveals an active energy landscape, specifically detailing the Rock Creek Oil Field, Green Creek Oil Field, and McKown Creek Oil Field, which illustrate the industrial footprint of the region during this era. Community life is represented by numerous family-named landmarks and spiritual centers such as the Mt Moriah Baptist Church Cem.

Logistics and infrastructure are documented through features like the Pocatalico River Road Truss Bridge and the McKown Creek Slab Bridge, providing specific points of interest for historical engineering enthusiasts. High points like Gunstock Knob and the Foreman Knob Lookout Tower overlook a terrain defined by deep drainages such as Stump Hollow and Canterbury Hollow, offering a detailed view of the rural settlement patterns along Little Sandy Cr and the Pocatalico River.
