About this map

The Guyandotte River snakes through the heart of Wyoming County in this 1967 survey, defining a landscape of narrow hollows and high ridges. The Norfolk and Western railroad tracks trace the river’s winding course, serving industrial sites like the Marianna Tipple and various Strip Mine operations. The settlement of Pineville serves as a central hub, flanked by smaller communities such as Mullensville, Wyoming, and Clover.

Genealogists will find numerous small family and community landmarks, including the Brewster Chapel, Turkey Creek Ch, and Cooper Ch. The map illustrates the era’s extractive economy through the presence of Tailings Ponds and a network of gas wells. Ridge lines such as Majah Ridge and Barkers Ridge separate the many drainage basins, including Pinnacle Creek and Indian Creek, where isolated homesites and small cemeteries are tucked away in the steep terrain.
