About this map

Anawalt sits at the center of this 2019 survey, where the Tug Fork and South Tug Fork drain the steep hollows of McDowell County, West Virginia. The landscape is defined by its deep river valleys and high ridges, including Peeled Chestnut Ridge and Big Stone Ridge. This map captures a densely populated corridor of coal-country settlements that trace the winding watercourses, from Skygusty and Black Wolf in the west to Leckie and Pageton in the north.

South across the state line in Tazewell County, Virginia, the terrain shifts into the broader expanse of Abbs Valley. Cultural details for genealogists include the Epperson Cem and the small communities of Boissevain and Tabors. The intricate network of local routes like Coke Oven Rd and Trestle Hollow Rd highlights the difficult topography that has shaped the industry and movement of the region for generations.
