About this map

The Tug Fork and its many winding tributaries dictate the settlement pattern of this McDowell County landscape, where small communities like Davy and Twin Branch follow the narrow creek valleys. This rugged coal-country terrain is dotted with several active and legacy centers of local life, including the Coalwood Post Office and Hensley Post Office. For genealogists, the Iaeger Memorial Cemetery serves as a significant landmark near Roderfield.

Strategic vantage points are marked by the Olga Number 3 Lookout Tower and the Coalwood Lookout Tower, which overlook a complex network of hollows such as Snipe Branch and Spice Creek. The map reflects the enduring infrastructure of the region's mining and residential history, connecting small rail and river hamlets like Big Sandy and Marytown through a web of local routes including Davy Roderfield Rd and Old 52 Rd.
