1972 Map of Nettie

About this map

The Nettie and Leivasy communities anchor this portrait of the West Virginia coal and timber country in the early 1970s. Located along the boundary of Nicholas Co and Greenbrier Co, the landscape is defined by the steep drainage basins of Hominy Creek and the Meadow River. Small upland settlements like Odell Town and Lowland are connected by winding roads and Jeep Trail paths, reflecting the region's isolated residential patterns. Religious and community life is centered around numerous country churches, including Mt Zion Ch, Olive Branch Ch, and Downtain Chapel.
