2019 Map of Davy

About this map

The Tug Fork river defines the industrial and residential corridors of this southern West Virginia landscape, where settlements like Davy and Marytown follow the winding valley floors. This 2019 survey documents a region deeply shaped by transportation and resource extraction, visible in the infrastructure of the Twin Branch Tunnel and several specialized river crossings, including the Twin Branch Truss Number 2 Bridge and the Big Sandy Truss Bridge. To the south, the community of Coalwood and the road network of Frog Level Rd indicate the continued footprint of mining history in the Appalachian coalfields. Local genealogy is anchored by the Iaeger Memorial Cem near Roderfield, while labels for numerous small hollows and branches—such as Shabbyroom Br and Meathouse Br—preserve the traditional family-named topography of the area.
