1996 Map of Pineville
USGS Topo · Published 2003About this map
The Guyandotte River winds through the heart of Wyoming County, where the Norfolk and Western railway snakes along its banks to serve a series of riverside coal communities. The landscape is defined by tight valleys and steep ridges like Turkey Ridge and Micajah Ridge, where settlements such as Marianna, Glover, and Mullensville are concentrated in the narrow bottomlands. In Pineville, the county seat, the convergence of Rockcastle Creek and the river creates a central hub for the region's infrastructure, including a Filtration Plant and Communication Tower. Evidence of the area's industrial character is visible in the Strip Mine workings and various smaller mines scattered across the hills. Local spiritual and civic life is anchored by landmarks like Turkey Creek Ch, Cooper Ch, and Brewster Chapel, while Kee Field and several mobile home parks indicate the 20th-century expansion of these mountain townships.
