2016 Map of Barnabus

About this map

Hatfield Cem and Varney Cem sit along the winding valley of Pigeon Cr, illustrating the dense ancestral footprint in this corner of the Appalachian coalfields. The landscape is defined by its deep hollows and narrow ridgelines, where settlements like Red Jacket, Newtown, and Musick follow the natural contours of the creek beds. The coal heritage of Mingo and Logan Counties is visible through industrial features such as the National Refuse Dump Number 25 and the Red Jacket Impoundment. Significant local infrastructure, including the Appalachian Regional Airport, occupies the high ground above Varney, while smaller hamlets like Pie and Sarah Ann are connected by a network of secondary roads and winding waterways like Island Cr. This survey provides a modern record of family burial grounds and community nodes that have persisted through generations of extraction and change.
