2016 Map of Clothier

About this map

Spruce Fork snakes through the heart of the southern West Virginia coalfields, anchoring a dense network of valley settlements and mining-era infrastructure. This 2016 survey highlights the rugged topography of Boone and Logan counties, where narrow hollows like Indian Grave Hollow and Daniel Hollow define the habitable landscape. The map provides a detailed look at the corridor connecting Clothier, Sharples, and Blair, illustrating how roads like the Spruce River Road follow the tight contours of the land. Genealogists will find a wealth of family-named sites, including the Ball Cemeteries, Adkins Cem, and Pauley Cem. Modern landmarks, such as the Sharple Stag Memorial Bridge, stand alongside legacy place names like Coal Valley and Five Block, reflecting the deep industrial and social history of these Appalachian mountain communities.
