About this map

Glen Rogers and the surrounding high country of Guyandotte Mountain define the topography of this portion of Wyoming and Raleigh Counties. The landscape is a dense network of ridges and deep hollows, where small settlements like Ravencliff, Milam, and McGraws are clustered along narrow valley floors. Transportation and industry are evidenced by the presence of a Private Mining Rd and the Poplar Gap Rd, reflecting the region's long-standing connection to coal extraction.

In the southern portion of the map, the terrain shifts toward recreation and community heritage. The Twin Falls Resort State Park Golf Course occupies the area near Hickory Knob, while local genealogy is anchored by the Tilley Tolliver Cem. The convergence of Marsh Fork and various branches like Bearhole Fork illustrates the complex drainage patterns that have historically dictated the placement of roads and homesteads in these West Virginia hills.
