About this map

Tug Fork carves a deep valley along the border of West Virginia and Kentucky, framing a landscape defined by the coal economy and steep topography of Mingo and Pike counties. In this 2019 survey, the town of Delbarton serves as a central hub, connected to outlying settlements like Ragland and Varney by a network of winding mountain roads and bridges including the Henry Hall Memorial Bridge.

Genealogists will find a significant density of family burial grounds tucked into the hollows, such as McCoy Cem, Yates Cem, and Varney Cem. Industrial heritage is visible at Lando Mines, while the Appalachian Regional Airport occupies a prominent plateau above Taylorville. The map captures the complex interaction of modern infrastructure and traditional Appalachian land use, from the residential heights of Oakwood Hts to the bottomlands at Phillips Bottom.
