2023 Map of Pax

Genealogists will find this sheet particularly valuable for its high density of family-named burial sites, such as the Wriston, Scarbro, and Maynor cemeteries. The transition from established coal-town infrastructure to the more dispersed homesteads near Artie and Clear Creek reflects the region's long-standing reliance on its natural topography and resource-driven economy. From the village of Pax in the southeast to the creek-side hamlets in the northwest, the map documents the persistent settlement patterns in this part of the West Virginia coalfields.
