2013 Map of Amonate

About this map

Amonate and the surrounding central Appalachian valleys are defined by a network of drainage systems including Dry Fork and Lewis Fork in the southern coalfields. Small communities and commercial hubs like Bandy and Lamberts Store serve as nodes along a road network that includes Amonate Rd and Baptist Valley Rd. The map illustrates the specialized land use of the region, where narrow hollows such as Thirtyone Hollow and ridges like Whitaker Ridge separate small residential clusters and isolated outposts. Notable landmarks like the Bearwallow Lookout Tower and the Stone Steps highlight the topographic intensity of the terrain. The presence of Dunford Village and Camp Tazewell underscores the density of smaller, localized settlements that have historically characterized this part of the Virginia and West Virginia borderlands.
