About this map

The Guyandotte River carves a deep path through Wyoming County, anchoring several small communities including Baileysville and Brenton. This 2014 survey captures the landscape of the southern West Virginia coalfields, where residential life is concentrated in the narrow valleys of Clear Fork and Brier Creek. The map shows a transition from traditional settlements like Sun Hill and Simon to modern infrastructure, indicated by the Private Mining Rd and numerous timbering or mining tracks like Thrash Frk.

Tracing the complex topography reveals locally named features such as Splashdam Hollow and Steeles Hollow, which reflect the historical engineering of the timber and coal industries. The boundary between Wyoming Co and McDowell Co is visible along the southern ridges, near the community of Asco, illustrating the connectivity of these remote hollows through a network of secondary routes like the R D Bailey Hwy and Lanes Branch Rd.
