2023 Map of Arnett

About this map

Guyandotte Mountain and the southern divide of Peachtree Ridge form the high-elevation backbone of this West Virginia landscape, where small communities follow the winding narrow valleys. Along the Marsh Fork and its numerous tributaries like Dry Creek and Rock Creek, the settlement pattern reflects a deeply rooted Appalachian lineage. Genealogists will find a high density of family-named burial grounds including Adkins Cem, Trump Cem, and the Sarrett - Lemon Cem tucked into the hollows. The presence of Breckenridge Church near the county line between Raleigh and Wyoming counties marks a local social hub in an otherwise decentralized network of hamlets. From Naoma in the north to Bolt in the south, the map details the intricate road system, such as Coal River Rd and Posey Saxon Rd, that connects these mountain gaps and ridges.
