About this map

Nettie and the surrounding high country of Nicholas Co show a landscape shaped by coal extraction and timber operations in the mid-1990s. The settlement of Leivasy sits along the southern edge of the sheet, while smaller hamlets like Odell Town and Lowland are connected by winding mountain roads. Several small community institutions remain central to the geography, including Downtain Chapel, Olive Branch Ch, and Beekley Chapel, often accompanied by family or community burial grounds like Fairview Cem.

The industrial character of the region is evident in the numerous Strip Mines and active mining areas that follow the contours of Hurricane Ridge and Grassy Ridge. Natural landmarks like Hominy Creek and the waterfall at Grassy Falls provide contrast to the heavy industry. This survey by the U.S. Forest Service also documents the borders of the Monongahela National Forest, marking the boundary where resource extraction meets protected public land.
