About this map

The Guyandotte River carves a deep path through this portion of Wyoming and Raleigh Counties, anchoring a network of coal-country settlements that define the local geography. The river passes by Mullens and Allen Junction, while tributaries like Slab Fork and Barkers Cr provide the corridors for rail and road development. The topography is dominated by prominent ridges such as Horsepen Ridge and Tommy Ridge, which dictated the placement of mountain communities like Rhodell and Stephenson.

Genealogists can find localized landmarks such as Milam Cem and Mike Ferrell Field, reflecting the family histories and community spaces of the area. Significant transit points like Stonecoal Junction and Amigo highlight the region's industrial infrastructure, while the Roy M Lilly Memorial Bridge serves as a vital crossing near Corinne. The map illustrates a landscape where narrow valleys host concentrated residential and industrial pockets separated by steep, undeveloped terrain.
