About this map

The confluence of Little Coal River and Pond Fork serves as the geographic anchor for this West Virginia landscape, where the neighboring towns of Madison and Danville dominate the central valley. This area exhibits a classic Appalachian settlement pattern, with residences and infrastructure tightly concentrated along the watercourses and narrow bottomlands. Away from the valley floor, the terrain rises sharply toward landmarks like Workman Knob, while the hollows are dotted with small communities and family-named landmarks.

Genealogists will find a wealth of specific data points, including more than twenty named burial sites such as Griffith Cemetery, Riley Hill Cemetery, and Vandelinde Cemetery. Cultural and civic centers are clearly marked by the Foster Post Office, Turtle Creek Post Office, and the Uneeda Post Office, tracing the historical mail routes through the hills. The map also records several distinct neighborhoods and small settlements, including Washington Heights, South Madison, and Haddleton.
