About this map

Lockwood and the winding course of Peters Creek anchor this topographic survey of the border between Clay and Nicholas Counties. The landscape is defined by a dense network of hollows and ridges, with named drainage systems like Twentymile Cr and Leatherwood Cr carving out deep valleys. Settlement patterns are largely confined to these narrow corridors, with clusters of activity at Fola, Lyonsville, and Drennen.

Historical traces of the region's industry and transport are evident in place names like Cannel Coal Hollow and Coal Hollow, reflecting the area's geological heritage. Transportation is facilitated by the historic Turnpike Rd, which cuts across the southern portion of the map, while the high point at Boardtree Gap offers a distinct landmark on the county line. Genealogists will find the locations of the Holcomb Cem and Neil Cem particularly useful for tracing local family histories in this part of West Virginia.
