road # 12 traverses Big Sycamore Creek many times from Indore down to the Elk
River, then down the Elk along the old B&O railroad track, past the old train
station to Little Sycamore Creek, then up Little Sycamore Creek past Warfield to
County Road # 1 near Indore. Eldorado is at the mouth of Big Sycamore Creek.
County Road # 12-1 runs from Warfield to near the Homestead on County
Road # 12, completing the circle of roads # 12 and # 12-1. Supplies were
shipped from Charleston up the Elk River on the B&O railroad to the train

purchased at Warfield, the nearest settlement, and at Indore, a larger
