About this map

The Guyandotte River carves a winding path through the center of this Wyoming County landscape, dictating the settlement patterns of towns like Pineville and Mullensville. In this river-defined geography, transportation and industry are confined to the narrow valleys, with the Lt. James L Smith Memorial Bridge providing a key crossing point near the confluence of major branches. The map details the transition from established communities to industrial sites like Kee Field, situated between Turkey Ridge and the river bends.

Local history is preserved in the numerous named hollows and ridges, from Mill Ridge in the northwest to the border with McDowell County near Asco. Smaller settlements such as Marianna, Glover, and Wyoming are linked by a network of secondary routes including Pinnacle Ave and Skin Fork Rd. The terrain is deeply dissected by a dense network of watercourses like Shannon Mill Cr and Indian Cr, which have historically shaped the development of timber and mining operations throughout the region.
