About this map

The hills of West Virginia are dense with extraction activity in this mid-1960s study, where hundreds of locations for Oil Wells and Gas Wells dominate the topography across Union, Troy, and Cove districts. Small settlements like Auburn and Coxs Mills anchor the valleys, connected by winding routes like Pikecamp that follow the natural contours of Leading Creek and the Right Fork of Bone Creek.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the network of family and community landmarks, including the Mt Earnest Ch and its associated Mt Earnest Cem, as well as the Pleasant Valley Cem near Spurgeon. The landscape is a complex web of drainage patterns, from Sinking Creek to Bloody Run, illustrating how early West Virginia mountain life was defined by the narrow hollows and the resources found beneath them.
