About this map

The Guyandotte River carves a winding path through this Wyoming County landscape, anchoring a string of small settlements including Glover, Mullensville, and the community of Pineville. Industrial activity is evident in the northern reaches at Shane Coal and through significant infrastructure such as Refuse Dam and Impoundment Number One and the Pinnacle Creek Refuse Bank Dam. These features suggest a landscape deeply shaped by the region's coal economy and the management of its byproducts.

Local history and genealogy researchers can locate the Wyoming Post Office and Wolf Pen Post Office, providing specific points of reference for vanished or shifted rural mail hubs. The terrain is punctuated by high points like Lambert Knob, which hosted the Lambert Knob Lookout Tower. Smaller aviation and recreation sites like Swope Farm Airport and Kee Field further detail the mid-century development of these river valley communities.
