1964 Map of Arnett

About this map

The rugged coal and gas territory along the Raleigh Co and Wyoming Co border is defined by a dense network of family cemeteries and small rural settlements. Following the winding course of the Marsh Fork, communities like Naoma, Arnett, and Masseyville are hemmed in by steep ridges including Peachtree Ridge and Spring Mountain. The landscape is a mix of traditional Appalachian hill life and industrial extraction, evidenced by numerous Gas Wells and a Strip Mine on the eastern edge near Clear Fork.
