About this map

The Guyandotte River carves a winding path through this portion of Logan County, serving as the primary corridor for the town of Chapmanville and the Chapmanville Bridge. This 2014 survey reveals a landscape where modern infrastructure like Us-119 and WV-10 follows the river's valley, connecting communities such as Stone Branch, Kitchen, and Sunset Court. The surrounding hills are deeply incised by countless drainages, including Smokehouse Fork, Mud Fork, and Cherrytree Br, creating a topography characterized by numerous named hollows and knobs such as Wet Knob.

Genealogists will find a high density of family burial grounds and small cemeteries scattered across the ridges and valley floors. Notable sites include Highland Memory Gardens, Old Lucas Cem, Asberry Cem, and several locations for Dingess Cem. The map also documents the transition between Logan, Lincoln, and Mingo counties, capturing the modern footprint of settlements like Phico and Godby Heights near the river's edge.
