About this map

Patterson Creek and its various forks dictate the settlement patterns of this West Virginia landscape, where small communities like Lahmansville and Medley occupy the narrow valley floors. The complex topography is defined by prominent ridges including New Creek Mtn and Patterson Creek Mtn, which isolate the drainage basins of Thorn Run and Rosser Run.

Modern transit and historical routes intersect here, with Us Rte 48 cutting across the southern portion of the quadrangle near Forman. Notable landmarks such as the Heaven's Landing Airstrip near Medley and the passage of the American Discovery Trail through Falls Gap show how the region balances local aviation and long-distance recreation. Local history is further grounded in the naming of rural roads like Frye School Rd and Popular School, pointing to the sites of former community focal points.
