2011 Map of Baileysville

About this map

The Guyandotte River carves a winding path through this Wyoming County landscape, anchoring settlements like Baileysville and Brenton along its banks. The topography is defined by a dense network of branches and forks, including Clear Fork and Indian Creek, which historically dictated the placement of mountain communities and roads. Infrastructure development is evident in the multiple water control structures, notably Horse Creek Dam Number One creating Horse Creek Lake and the series of dams at Twin Branch Dam Number One, Two, and Three near the southern border. Smaller hamlets such as Fanrock, which retains its Fanrock Post Office, and Stoneville sit along these narrow valley corridors, illustrating the localized settlement patterns of the West Virginia coalfields in the early 21st century.
