About this map

The Guyandotte River carves a winding path through this West Virginia corridor, anchoring the primary settlements of Chapmanville and Phico. This 2010 survey reveals a landscape characterized by deep hollows and narrow ridge-top developments, with communities like Barker Hollow and Stone Branch tucked into the drainage basins. The area’s genealogical depth is evident in the density of family burial grounds, including the Stolling Cemetery, Asberry Cemetery, and the larger Highland Memory Gardens.

Upland areas such as Dingess Mountain and Wet Knob overlook a complex network of forest roads and creek-side dwellings. Smaller locales like Shively, marked by the Shively Post Office, and Halcyon illustrate the dispersed nature of these Appalachian communities. The map detail extends to the confluence of Crawley Creek and the river, tracing numerous branches such as Rocky Branch and Pigeonroost Branch that have long defined the local geography.
