About this map

Quick and Coalridge anchor the northern reaches of this Kanawha County landscape, where the steep topography of Elk, Malden, and Cabin Creek dictates the pattern of mid-century settlement. Numerous hollows and forks carve through the terrain, with small communities like Cinco, Blount, and Rensford established along the narrow valley floors. The presence of a Lookout Tower and multiple schools, including Pointlick Sch, Hansel Sch, and Tenmile Sch, underscores the infrastructure serving these isolated rural areas.

Resource extraction and energy transport are evident through the network of Pipelines and scattered mines that dot the hillsides. Near the southern boundary, Witcher and Mammoth sit along Witcher Creek, connected to the wider region by landmarks such as the Pumping Station and several electrical substations. The map reveals a transition in land use, where family-named features like Jim Fork and Ugly Branch meet the industrial needs of a growing West Virginia energy corridor.
