About this map

The Guyandot River winds through the heart of Wyoming County, defining a landscape dominated by steep ridges and narrow hollows. In this early century survey, Pineville serves as a focal point near the prominent Pinnacle landmark and the convergence of Barkers Ridge. The map illustrates a network of small settlements and post offices like Baileysville, Oceana, and Rockview connected by early transport routes labeled as the Upper Road and Lower Road.

Industrial activity of the era is represented by the McDonald Mill on the Clear Fork, while the topography is punctuated by family-named landmarks and distinct peaks such as Panther Knob and Triadelphia Mountain. The intricate drainage patterns of Huff Creek and its numerous forks reveal the traditional pathways of settlement in this part of West Virginia before modern highways altered the valley floors.
