About this map

Hominy Falls and Nettie anchor this study of the dissected plateau in West Virginia, where high ridges and deep creek hollows dictate the layout of small mountain communities. The landscape is defined by its numerous family and community landmarks, such as Dountain Chapel Cem, Olive Branch Cem, and the Penile Cem near Hominy Falls. Transportation follows the winding paths of the terrain, with routes like the Canvas-Nettie Rd and Old Nicholas Rd connecting the scattered settlements.

The southeastern corner of the map marks the edge of the Monongahela National Forest, a transition into more heavily timbered land near the Nicholas Co and Greenbrier Co line. Water features are central to the geography here, from the notable Grassy Falls to the many forks of Hominy Creek, Jims Cr, and Nettie Run. Peaks like Beech Knob and White Buck Knob provide significant relief above the agricultural and residential clearings of Leivasy and Odell Town.
