About this map

Mud River serves as the central artery for this part of Lincoln County, its winding course dictating the placement of early settlements and family homesteads. The terrain is defined by a dense network of narrow hollows and steep ridges, with Stowers Knob rising above the surrounding timberland. This area maintains a strong connection to its ancestral roots, evidenced by the high concentration of family burial grounds such as the Stowers-Adkins Cemetery, Goldsberry Cemetery, and Noah Sias Cemetery. Small community hubs like Sias, Palermo, and Myra are linked by winding roads that follow the valley floors, while the Sias Post Office remains a notable landmark of local infrastructure. To the south, Spurlockville sits near the junction of Bear Branch and Mud River, illustrating the enduring pattern of river-bottom settlement in the West Virginia hills.
