2014 Map of Quick

About this map

Quick sits at the northern edge of this landscape, where Blue Creek and Slack Br converge. The terrain is defined by a dense network of steep hollows and narrow creek bottoms, including Fivemile Hollow and Slabcamp Hollow, which historically dictated the placement of settlements and roads in this part of Kanawha County. This 2014 survey reveals the persistent imprint of rural industrial and mountain life, with the Mount Desert Lookout Tower standing as a prominent landmark overlooking the Campbells Cr drainage. Family history is anchored in the landscape through sites like Hunter Cem and Patterson Cem. To the south, the settlements of Mammoth and Ward mark the valley floor along Kellys Cr, illustrating the typical West Virginia pattern of small communities tucked into narrow corridors between the ridges of the Allegheny Plateau.
