2014 Map of Powellton

About this map

Armstrong Mountain and Kingston Mountain dominate this corner of Fayette County, where the landscape is defined by a dense network of hollows and creeks. Settlements like Powellton, Elkridge, and McDunn occupy the narrow valley floors, illustrating a traditional Appalachian mountain community pattern. The presence of Cokeoven Hollow near North Page points to the industrial history of the region, while numerous family and community burial sites, including the Craig Cemeteries and Sycamore Branch Cem, are situated on higher ground or tucked into side drainages like Stover Hollow. Further south, the map details the proximity of Coalfield and Milburn along the banks of Paint Creek, reflecting the importance of water gaps for transportation and infrastructure in this high-relief terrain. The boundary between Kanawha County and Fayette County runs along the western ridge, separating the Paint Creek drainage from the western slopes.
