Mannington serves as the primary hub of this north-central West Virginia landscape, situated along the winding course of Buffalo Creek. The region’s industrial character is defined by extensive coal mining infrastructure, visible through the presence of the Loveridge Mine Slurry Impoundment to the north and the Consol Number Nine Water Supply Lake near the settlement of Consol Number 9. Genealogists will find a high density of family burial grounds, including the Barrickman Cem, Toothman Cem, and Meyers Cem, which are scattered among the steep hollows. The transition between Monongalia Co and Marion Co is marked by prominent peaks such as Bake Oven Knob. Small communities like Rachel and Metz are connected by a network of rural roads and water bodies like Dunkard Mill Run, illustrating the enduring settlement patterns of the Appalachian plateau.
