About this map

East Fork Twelvepole Creek winds through this section of Wayne and Lincoln Counties, feeding the sprawling waters of East Lynn Lake. The landscape is defined by a dense network of ridges and hollows, including Crackersneck Ridge and the unusually named Boat Gunwale Hollow. Small settlements like Kiahsville and Brabant serve as local anchors, with the Kiahsville Post Office situated east along Cove Creek.

For genealogists, the map is particularly detailed regarding family burial grounds. Dozens of small sites such as the Adkins White Cemetery, Pat Maynard Cemetery, and Robinson Cemetery are tucked into the hillsides. These cemeteries, alongside landmarks like McComas Mountain and Porter Knob, provide a precise spatial record of local family history in this West Virginia coal country during the early 21st century.
