2019 Map of Keystone

About this map

Keystone and Northfork anchor a dense corridor of coal-country settlements along the winding path of Elkhorn Cr. This 2019 survey illustrates the concentrated residential and industrial patterns of McDowell County, where communities like Landgraff, Eckman, and Algoma are linked by a complex network of valley roads and the Eckman Overhead Bridge. The terrain is characterized by steep ridges and deep hollows, such as Greenbrier Hollow and Eureka Holler, which have historically dictated the placement of rail lines and housing.
