2014 Map of Clio

About this map

Osbornes Mills sits at a geographic bend along the Big Sandy Creek corridor, where the Roane and Kanawha county line divides this stretch of the West Virginia hills. The landscape is defined by a dense network of family-named hollows and ridges, such as Cobb Hollow, Armstead Hollow, and Deverick Ridge, reflecting a long history of local settlement. While much of the area is characterized by steep terrain and winding creek beds like Left Hand Cr and Wartlong Run, the infrastructure of the early 21st century is present in the form of the Stringtown Oil Field and McKown Creek Oil Field.
