Mannington serves as the industrial and social hub of this northern West Virginia landscape, situated at the confluence of several runs and the Buffalo Creek. The town's layout and the surrounding area reflect a heavy reliance on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, which follows the winding creek valleys to connect coal and gas resources to wider markets. The hillsides are peppered with an intensive network of gas wells, illustrating the region's energy-driven economy during the mid-20th century.
