2019 Map of Racine

About this map

Peytona and Racine anchor this landscape along the winding course of the Big Coal River, where deep hollows like Foster Hollow and Snodgrass Hollow define the narrow valleys of Boone County. The presence of the Mechanics and Miners Cem near Bloomingrose reflects the region's long-standing connection to the extraction industries that shaped these West Virginia communities. Transport follows the river corridor, with the Walhonde Water Trail tracing the water's edge past Johns and Brushton. Infrastructure is marked by significant crossings including the Peytona Bridge and the Charles R Carrico Memorial Bridge. Scattered family and community burial grounds, such as Barker Cem, Javins Cem, and Price Cem, are found throughout the uplands, offering vital markers for genealogical research in this coalfield terrain.
