2019 Map of Hamlin

About this map

The Lincoln County Courthouse serves as the focal point for the town of Hamlin, where the Mud River winds through the narrow valleys of West Virginia's Appalachian Plateau. This 2019 survey documents a landscape defined by deep-set hollows like Buckeye Hollow and Nelson Hollow, and the numerous small watercourses that feed the river system, including Trace Cr and Middle Fork Mud River. The settlement pattern follows these winding riverbanks and creek beds, with small communities such as New Hamlin, Bowles, and Sweetland connected by a network of rural roads like Hamlin Rd and Mud River Rd. Genealogists will find a high density of family and community burial sites, from the centrally located Hamlin Cem to the more secluded Sycamore Cem and Roberts Cem, illustrating the deep-rooted local history of the region.
