2014 Map of Arnett

About this map

Guyandotte Mountain and the high ridges of the Coal River basin define this portion of the West Virginia coalfields during the early 21st century. The landscape is marked by numerous family-named burial grounds including Bone Cem, Eunice Cem, and Taylor Cem, which remain as essential genealogical anchors for the communities of Arnett, Saxon, and Bolt. Settlement follows the narrow valleys of Marsh Fork and the Coal River, where local history is preserved in landmarks like the Pfc John M. Davis Memorial Bridge and the Ivy Knob Lookout Tower atop Ivy Knob. The map also details the winding paths of WV-3 and WV-99, alongside the Maple Meadow Mining Rd, reflecting the region's long-standing connection to the extraction industry and its complex network of rural hollows.
