About this map

The Eleven Point River snakes through this Randolph County landscape, defining the topography of the western hills and the eastern plains near Pocahontas. This modern survey reveals a countryside dense with genealogical landmarks, including a high concentration of small, family-named burial sites such as McIlroy Cem, Ross Cem, and the Gravesville Cem. The community of Lorine sits at a junction of backroads, while the rural character of the region is anchored by the Shiloh Ch and its adjacent Shiloh Cem. Higher elevations like Cooley Hill and the dramatic Eagle Bluff overlook the river valley, where smaller tributaries like Thatch Creek and Vandergriff Creek drain the upland timber. The map also highlights significant water features like Blue Basin Lake and Coldwater Spring, illustrating the complex hydrology that has shaped local land use and settlement for generations.
