2011 Map of Mingo

About this map

Mingo Flats and the headwaters of the Tygart Valley River define this high-elevation landscape in Pocahontas and Randolph Counties. The 2011 survey reveals a mountainous region where small settlements like Mingo, Upper Mingo, and Mace are connected by winding mountain roads. In the southern portion of the map, the Slatyfork Post Office serves as a local landmark near the convergence of Big Spring Fork and Old Field Fork. The map provides specific genealogical value through the location of the Varner Cemetery and identifies named geographic peaks such as Mingo Knob, Tallow Knob, and Gibson Knob. The presence of the Colonel Samuel B Marshall Spring and the drainage patterns of the Elk River illustrate the complex hydrology of the Allegheny Mountains, where water flows from ridges like Middle Mountain and Buzzard Ridge to form the primary river systems of West Virginia.
