About this map

The West Fork Twelvepole Creek carves a winding path through this corner of Wayne County, serving as the primary drainage for a landscape defined by sharp ridges and deep hollows. Small communities like Genoa, Radnor, and Dunlow are established along the narrow valley floors, connected by roads that hug the water's edge. Higher elevations are dominated by features such as Lycans Ridge and Stonewall, where local infrastructure including the Lycans Ridge Sch and several Gas Wells indicate the area's rural economy.

Local history is preserved in numerous family cemeteries, such as the Watts and Perry Cem and Cassidy Cem, which are scattered throughout the hills. The southern portion of the quadrangle includes the northern reaches of the Cabwaylingo State Forest, highlighting the transition from residential and agricultural use to managed timberland. The concentration of churches like Bethel Ch and Zion Ch underscores the social centers of these remote Appalachian settlements during the mid-twentieth century.
