2011 Map of Logan

About this map

The Guyandotte River winds through the heart of this Appalachian coal country, where narrow valleys have dictated a string of tightly knit communities along its banks and the neighboring Island Creek. The city of Logan serves as a central hub, flanked by the Buskirk Addition and the nearby Aracoma settlement. This landscape is defined by its industrial and residential proximity, where roads like Hatcher Mine Rd and Taplin Hollow Rd provide access to the steep hollows. Local history is preserved in numerous family and community burial grounds, including the Old City Cemetery and the George F Browning Cemetery. The geography reveals a complex network of named water branches, such as Varney Branch and Dingess Run, which have historically shaped the development of settlements like Peach Creek and McConnell.
