About this map

West Fork Twelvepole Creek carves a deep path through Wayne County, anchoring a landscape defined by sharp ridges and narrow hollows. Small settlements like Radnor and Genoa are situated along these watercourses, connected by winding routes such as Billy Branch Rd. The area's genealogical depth is evident in the high density of family-named burial sites, including the Marilyn Napier Cem and John Robertson Cem, which are scattered across the high ground of Lycans Ridge and Napier Ridge.

Resource extraction and local transport are suggested by the presence of Coal Haul Rd in the southeast corner near Ferguson Ridge. Higher elevations like Hooker Knob and Porter Mountain provide a stark vertical contrast to the low-lying reaches of Missouri Branch and Licklog Branch. This 2023 survey provides a contemporary view of these traditional Appalachian communities and their enduring topographical footprint.
