About this map

Hamlin serves as the focal point for this area of Lincoln County, where the Mud River and its numerous tributaries like Trace Fork Mud River carve a complex system of hollows and ridges. This modern survey details the town's expansion toward New Hamlin and Baker Hollow, alongside established rural communities such as Bowles, Nye, and Sweetland. The landscape is heavily marked by local family and community history, evidenced by a high density of small cemeteries including Powell Cem, Roberts Cem, and Harveys Creek Cem.

Transportation throughout the region relies on the winding routes of Hamlin Rd and Co Rte 50, which follow the natural contours of the river valleys. Landmarks such as the Emmaus Ch and the Crazy Horse Airport are clearly positioned among the hills, providing a detailed record of the contemporary infrastructure and settlement patterns that define this part of West Virginia near the borders of Cabell and Putnam Counties.
