About this map

Coffeeville and the surrounding woods of eastern Upshur County were documented in detail during this 1960 field check, revealing a landscape defined by scattered timber settlements and rural social centers. The map highlights the importance of faith and family history in these communities, with several local landmarks such as Paradise Ch, Snow Hill Ch, and the Coffeeville Cem serving as primary points of orientation.

The terrain is carved by numerous waterways including South Greasy Creek, Gum Creek, and Meddlin Creek, which separate distinct high points like Brown Mountain and Camp Mountain. Industry in the area appears primarily extractive, noted by several Gravel Pits and the evocative Coal Mine Hollow. A network of unpaved roads and early utility infrastructure, including a prominent Pipeline, suggests a region transitioning through the mid-century while maintaining its traditional rural character.
