About this map

Guyandotte River valley life is central to this West Virginia landscape, where the Guyandotte Water Trail winds past riverfront communities like Chapmanville, Stone Branch, and Kitchen. The topography is defined by countless narrow hollows and branches, such as Barker Hollow and Vickers Br, which provided the framework for local settlement patterns. High points like Wet Knob and White Oak Gap overlook a terrain carved by the Canoe Fork and Crawley Cr.

Genealogists will find a high concentration of family-named burial sites throughout the ridges, including Piney Cemeteries, several instances of Dingess Cem, and the Old Lucas Cem. The map also traces modern recreational and industrial heritage through the Wilderness Trail and the Coal Mine Trail. This record captures the transition between historic residential hollows and the development of neighborhoods like Sunset Court and Sunset Court.
