2019 Map of Barnabus

About this map

Hatfield Cem and Chafin Cem sit among the numerous family burial grounds that dot this landscape along the Logan Co and Mingo Co border. The rugged terrain of the Appalachian Plateau is carved by an intricate network of waterways, including Pigeon Creek and Island Creek, which dictate the placement of local infrastructure and settlements. Small communities like Pie, Varney, and Musick are linked by winding roads such as US Rte 52 and Co Hwy 65/03. The presence of the Appalachian Regional Airport and the sprawling residential patterns near Newtown and Stirrat demonstrate how modern development has adapted to the steep hollows and narrow valleys characteristic of southern West Virginia. This 2019 survey provides a detailed look at the persistent genealogical markers, like Duty Cem and Farley Cem, that remain central to the region's identity.
