About this map

Armstrong Creek and its many tributaries carve through the heart of the Kanawha and Fayette County borderlands, anchoring a landscape defined by narrow valley settlements and high ridges. The community of Powellton sits centrally along the creek, flanked by historic mining and residential outposts such as Elkridge, McDunn, and Greencastle. These settlements are deeply integrated with the rugged topography, where hollows like Cokeoven Hollow and Glenco Hollow hint at the industrial history of the region.

Genealogists will find a significant distribution of family and community burial sites, including the Craig Cemeteries and Page Tabernacle Cemetery. The southern portion of the map transitions toward the higher elevations of Kingston Mountain and Payne Knob, while the eastern edge follows the corridor of the Big Righthand Fork, connecting the small settlements of Page and Kincaid to the broader regional network of roads like Deepwater Mountain Road.
