About this map

Tug Fork and its numerous tributaries, including the S Fork Tug Fork and Laurel Fork, define the drainage of this Appalachian landscape where West Virginia meets Virginia. The high-elevation terrain of the coalfields is marked by a series of company-era settlements and mining towns. Concentrated along the creek bottoms are Anawalt, Jenkinjones, and Pageton, while Boissevain lies just across the state line in Tazewell County. Industrial legacy is evident in the Jenkinjones Impoundment and the presence of Coke Oven Rd near Pageton.

Modern land use appears in features like the Black Wolf Links Golf Course near Black Wolf, contrasting with the traditional residential pockets of Lila, Skygusty, and Effler. The topography is dominated by prominent landforms such as Totten Ridge and Big Stone Ridge, which separate the various hollows and branch valleys. This 2014 survey documents the continued layout of these mountain communities, tracing the road networks from Abbs Valley Rd up to the ridges.
