2023 Map of Mallory

About this map

The Guyandotte River carves through the heart of the southern West Virginia coalfields, where settlements like Man and Landville cling to the narrow valley floors. This 2023 survey illustrates the dense network of hollow-based communities typical of the region, including Mallory, Davin, and Mineral City along Huff Creek. The landscape is a complex intersection of three counties, with boundaries for Logan, Wyoming, and Mingo meeting amidst high peaks like Buffalo Mountain and Huff Mountain. Genealogists will find significant value in the mapped family and community burial grounds, such as McDonald Cem near Huff Junction and the remote Cline Cem in the southern reaches near Leatherwood. The map also captures several distinct residential pockets like Combs Addition and Gillman Bottom, reflecting the enduring post-industrial settlement patterns of the Appalachian interior.
