2016 Map of Baileysville

About this map

The Guyandotte River carves a deep path through Wyoming County, anchoring a series of river-bottom settlements including Baileysville and Brenton. This 2016 survey illustrates the persistent topography of West Virginia's coal country, where development is constrained to the narrow valleys and along winding routes like Shannon Yard Rd and Schoolhouse Branch Rd. The map records numerous family and local landmarks, from Mill Ridge to Indian Ridge, and small communities such as Fanrock, Stoneville, and Fanny. A legacy of industrial land use is suggested by features like Splashdam Hollow, while recreational or utility water is represented by Horse Cr Lake. The southern edge of the quadrangle tracks the political boundary between Wyoming Co and McDowell Co, reaching down to the settlement of Asco.
