About this map

Hatfield Island and the winding Guyandotte River define the core of this West Virginia coal country landscape. The settlement of Logan serves as a central hub, connected to neighboring Aracoma and Stollings by numerous crossings including the Midelburg Bridge and the JT Fish Memorial Bridge. The map details a dense network of hollows and ridges, where communities like Monaville, Rossmore, and Switzer follow the narrow valley floors along Island Creek.

Genealogists will find significant value in the numerous burial sites documented throughout the rugged terrain, from the Old City Cem near the city center to the George F Browning Cem and Mullens Cem. Local industry and infrastructure are evident in the placement of the Logan County Airport and specific landmarks like Rum Junction and Peach Creek Bridge. The map captures the specialized topography of the region, where every creek and branch, such as Dingess Run and Slab Fork, dictates the pattern of human habitation.
