2011 Map of Majestic

About this map

Tug Fork carves a winding path through this corner of Mingo County, defining the borderland where West Virginia meets Kentucky. The landscape is characterized by a dense network of hollows and creek forks that shaped the region's industrial and residential layout. The influence of the coal industry is evident at Thacker Mines in the northern section, while the Majestic Post Office and the settlement of Majestic serve as central points for local commerce and communication. Small communities like Vulcan, Devon, and Stopover are situated along the river and creek valleys, often connected by narrow corridors like the Woodman Creek Rd. For those tracing family histories, the map identifies several local burial sites, including Chafin Cemetery and Steele Cemetery, which remain anchored to the ridges overlooking the numerous branches and forks of the watershed.
