About this map

Blue Creek and Mill Creek carve deep valleys through this portion of Kanawha County, defining a landscape dominated by steep hollows and narrow ridge settlements. Small communities like Quick, Coalridge, and Fivemile are connected by winding routes such as Co Rte 48 and Campbells Creek Rd, tracing the natural drainage patterns of the region. The map reveals a dense network of named hollows, including Rattlesnake Hollow, Sprucepine Hollow, and Tackett Hollow, which serve as the primary geographical markers for local inhabitants.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several family burial sites, such as Patterson Cem, Hunter Cem, and Kennedy Cem, often situated on high ground overlooking the creek forks. The southern edge of the sheet transitions toward industrial and residential clusters at Mammoth and Ward, where Kellys Creek flows. The intricate topography, marked by features like Little Ninemile Fork and Big Tenmile Fork, illustrates the historical reliance on these waterways for both orientation and transit in the West Virginia hills.
