2019 Map of Wallins Creek

About this map

Wallins Creek serves as a primary hub for this portion of the Cumberland River corridor, where the valley floor transitions into the steep elevations of Pine Mountain. The map details a series of coal-country settlements including Tacky Town, Coldiron, and Twila, reflecting the dense residential patterns that followed the river and its narrow tributaries. To the north, the terrain is dominated by ridges like Gross Knob and Ginnie Hill, while the southern reaches rise toward Reynolds Mtn and Puckett Ridge. Local family history is rooted in sites such as the Coldiron Cem and Gross Cem, alongside many named branches and hollows like Bulldog Hollow and Mapple Hollow that define the local geography. The winding path of the Cumberland River is the central artery, flanked by early transportation routes like Old Pine Hwy and the local connections to South Wallins and Kentenia.
