2011 Map of Mullens

About this map

The Guyandotte River carves a winding path through this portion of Wyoming County, anchoring a string of valley settlements including Mullens, Itmann, and Elmore. This landscape is defined by the industrial footprint of West Virginia coal country, notably marked by the Joes Branch Refuse Impoundment and its associated dam. These large-scale land modifications sit in stark contrast to the traditional upland geography of Brushy Ridge and Micajah Ridge. Local family history is preserved at the Hickory Ridge Cemetery and Bower Cemetery, while the presence of Bell School House Rd and the Alpoca Post Office points to the established community infrastructure that serves these winding mountain corridors. The terrain is characterized by steep drainage systems like Pinnacle Creek and Cabin Creek, which dictate the placement of roads and homesteads.
