2011 Map of Rhodell

About this map

Guyandotte River headwaters and winding mountain hollows define this area of southern West Virginia. This 2011 survey illustrates a landscape of clustered mining and railroad-related settlements including Allen Junction, Rhodell, and Stephenson. The map is particularly valuable for documenting local infrastructure and community hubs, such as the Wyco Post Office, Basin Post Office, and the Milam Cemetery. The drainage patterns of Barkers Creek and Devils Fork are clearly delineated, showing how the topography dictated the placement of historic routes like Stephenson Keystone Rd and Lusk Settlement Rd. Local landmarks like Perry and Hylton Field and Wyco Dam provide specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians tracing the development of these coalfield communities.
