2019 Map of Odd

About this map

Odd and Egeria anchor this rugged Appalachian terrain at the junction of Raleigh, Mercer, and Wyoming counties. The landscape is defined by its complex ridge-and-hollow topography, where high elevations like Guyandotte Mountain and Indian Grave Mtn separate the headwaters of numerous creeks. The settlement pattern follows these narrow drainages, with small communities like Willibet, Josephine, and Besoco tucked into the valleys. Local landmarks such as the Mullins Farm and Howard Shrewsbury Spring offer specific touchpoints for family historians and genealogists researching the residents of these hollows.
