About this map

Mannington serves as the central hub of this northern West Virginia survey, where the waters of Buffalo Creek and Mahan Run converge. The landscape is heavily defined by the region's industrial legacy, most notably the operations at Consol Number 9 and the nearby Jamison Number 9 Mine Camp Spring. A complex network of water management features, including the Loveridge Slurry Impoundment Dam and several freshwater dams such as Loveridge Fresh Water Dam Number Two, illustrates the intersection of heavy industry and natural topography.

Local family history is preserved through dozens of small burying grounds, from Ammons Cemetery in the north to Hess Cemetery and Richardson Cemetery further south. The map documents smaller communities like Rachel, which includes the Rachel H and F Club Dam, alongside Homewood, Downs, and Metz. Elevations vary significantly across the quadrangle, reaching a prominent point at Bake Oven Knob in the north, while historical post offices in Metz, Mannington, and Rachel anchor the rural infrastructure.
