1967 Map of Mullens

About this map

Guyandotte River coal towns and timbered ridges define this 1967 study of Wyoming County. The regional economy is written into the landscape through the winding routes of the Norfolk and Western railway and a proliferation of strip mines, shafts, and tipples. Significant company towns and local hubs like Mullens, Itmann, and Alpoca follow the narrow river valleys, while higher elevations are occupied by landmarks such as Twin Falls State Park and Slab Fork Ridge. Genealogy resources are scattered throughout the hills, including the Bower Cem and Hickory Ridge Cem, alongside civic institutions like the Slab Fork Sch and St Johns Ch. The map illustrates a mature industrial landscape where infrastructure like a Compressor Station and a major pipeline cut across the natural drainage of Pinnacle Creek and Barkers Creek.
