About this map

Fola and the winding course of Twentymile Cr anchor this high-resolution topographic study of the border between Clay and Nicholas Counties. The landscape is defined by deep drainage systems and narrow hollows, such as Cannel Coal Hollow and Neal Hollow, which reflect the region's historical reliance on timber and resource extraction. The community of Lockwood sits near the confluence of Line Cr and Peters Creek, serving as a focal point for local transport along WV-39.

Evidence of local industry and genealogy is preserved through features like Legg Road-Legg Mine and the Neil Cem near Drennen. Small settlements like Lyonsville and the distinct upper and lower sections of Upper Elk Hollow illustrate the dispersed residential patterns typical of West Virginia's central Appalachian plateau. This 2014 survey documents the modern road network, including Nicholas Rd, while capturing the persistent topography that has shaped these communities for generations.
