2011 Map of Mill Creek

About this map

The Tygart Valley River anchors this high-elevation landscape, winding northward through the valley floor where the settlements of Mill Creek and Huttonsville are situated. This 2011 survey captures the area's transition from the river basin into the steep terrain of the Allegheny Mountains, dominated by high points like Hutton Knob and Chestnut Ridge. For local history researchers, the Old Brick Church Cemetery is a significant landmark located along the valley road south of Huttonsville, serving as a focal point for the early settlement history of Randolph County. Numerous watercourses, including Shavers Run, Riffle Creek, and Becky Creek, drain the surrounding ridges, illustrating the complex hydrology that influenced original road placements and homesteading. The map details a network of rural routes such as Mill Creek Rd and Channel Rd that follow the natural contours of the land, connecting the valley communities to the more remote heights of Cromer Top and White Top.
