About this map

Hamlin serves as the focal point of this Lincoln County survey, situated along the winding banks of the Mud River. The settlement pattern follows the narrow valley floors and ridgelines characteristic of the region, with the Lincoln County Courthouse marking the civic heart of the area. This modern snapshot reveals a landscape where traditional family-named hollows like Buckeye Hollow and Nelson Hollow coexist with contemporary institutions such as the Southern West Virginia Community and Technical College - Lincoln Site.

Transport and aviation infrastructure are represented by Crazy Horse Airport, while the rural outskirts are dotted with historic burial grounds including Roberts Cem, Sycamore Cem, and the Lincoln Memorial Cem. Small communities like Sweetland, Nye, and Eggleton remain connected by a network of state and county routes that trace the complex topography of the Middle Fork Mud River and its numerous tributaries such as Trace Creek and Cowhide Creek.
