About this map

Mammoth and the surrounding hollows of Kanawha County are defined by a complex network of creeks and ridge-top roads in this recent survey. The landscape is marked by small settlements often situated at the confluence of drainages, such as Spangler and Blakeley. The central portion of the map is dominated by Pond Fork and Blue Creek, which carve deep valleys between high ridges like Dutch Ridge.

Genealogists and local historians will find value in the specific locations of family-named landmarks and infrastructure, including the Blakey Cem near Amelia and the Pond Gap PO. The map traces the winding paths of rural routes like Kellys Creek Rd and Sanderson Rd, reflecting a settlement pattern that remains closely tied to the steep topography. From the northern reaches of Acup to the southern area around Fivemile Fork, this survey captures the contemporary layout of these traditional West Virginia coal and timber communities.
