About this map

Island Creek and its many winding tributaries define this section of the Logan and Mingo county border in West Virginia. The landscape is characterized by narrow valleys and steep ridges, where small communities like Barnabus, Stirrat, and Sarah Ann are situated along the creek beds. Transport in the region is anchored by US Rte 52, which connects the southern settlements of Pie and Musick.

Genealogists will find a high concentration of family burial grounds throughout the hollows, including multiple locations of the Hatfield Cem, alongside the Chafin Cem, Ferrell Cem, and Kennedy Cem. The presence of the Southern West Virginia Regional Airport near Varney provides a modern contrast to the traditional settlement patterns found in places like Red Jacket and Newtown. The map meticulously details the drainage network of the Guyandotte River basin, featuring named branches such as Pigeon Creek and Rockhouse Fork.
