2011 Map of Keystone

About this map

Elkhorn Creek serves as the central artery for a dense network of coal-country settlements, including Northfork, Keystone, and Elkhorn. The 2011 landscape is defined by its industrial heritage, clearly visible through features such as the Keystone Refuse Dump Mine Number 1 Dam and the Algoma Coal Impoundment. These structures, along with several local post offices like the Kyle Post Office and Powhatan Post Office, reflect the social and economic infrastructure built around the region's extraction history. Residential life clings to the steep topography, evidenced by the Thompson Addition and various family-named burial grounds including Mitchem Cemetery and Rotenberry Cemetery. High points such as Shawnee Mountain and its lookout tower provide a vantage over the narrow valleys where roads like E McDowell St and the Elkhorn Station Rd connect these tight-knit communities.
