2016 Map of Gilbert

About this map

The Guyandotte River winds through the borderlands of Mingo and Wyoming Counties, anchoring a landscape shaped by narrow hollows and river crossings. This survey captures the region as it appeared in the mid-2010s, centered on the town of Gilbert and the expansive R. D. Bailey Lake to the east. The map highlights several notable infrastructure points, including the Rodney Staton Memorial Bridge and the Randy Ellis and Billy Lester Bridge, reflecting the essential nature of river access in this mountainous terrain. For family historians, the presence of Oak Log Cem, Lester Cemeteries, and Morgan Cem provides specific points for genealogical research. Settlements like Hanover, Justice, and North Spring are connected by a network of state and county roads, such as Co HWY 52, that follow the natural contours of features like Little Huff Cr and Muzzle Cr.
