2019 Map of Strange Creek

About this map

The Elk River winds through this central West Virginia landscape, joined by the Birch River near the village of Glendon. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of ridges and knobs, including Snake Knob and Keener Ridge, which dictate the winding paths of rural routes like Duck Rd and Hallsburg Rd. This map documents a series of small, dispersed settlements such as Duck, Villanova, and Strange Creek, many of which grew around the river's bends and the surrounding hollows.
