Matewan and the surrounding coal country of Mingo Co and Pike Co are defined by the winding course of the Tug Fork, where the border between West Virginia and Kentucky follows the river's path. This landscape is deeply tied to regional family legacies, as evidenced by numerous family burial grounds including the Matthew Hatfield Cem, Jerry Hatfield Cem, and McCoy Cem. These names echo the famous local histories of the valley, while places like Hatfield Bottom and Blackberry City reveal the dense settlement patterns along the narrow creek bottoms.
