Hominy Falls and the surrounding highlands of Nicholas County define this landscape along the edge of the Monongahela National Forest. The map documents a rural network of small communities including Leivasy, Nettie, and Odell Town, connected by winding routes like WV-20 and Old Nicholas Rd. A significant concentration of family and community burial grounds, such as Downtain Chapel Cem, Olive Branch Cem, and Penile Cem, provides essential data for genealogists tracing local lineage in this part of West Virginia.
