1891 Map of Warfield

About this map

Tug Fork of Chattarawa River serves as the central artery and political boundary for this 1880s survey, separating Martin and Pike counties in Kentucky from Wayne and Logan counties in West Virginia. The terrain is defined by a dense network of watercourses and high ridges, where settlements like Warfield and White Post sit along the winding riverbanks. The map reveals an early industrial footprint in the Appalachian interior, notably at Copperas Mine Fork, while rural life is anchored by family-named localities such as Hatfield and Mate. Numerous drainages, including Jennies Creek, Marrowbone Creek, and Johns Creek, dictate the movement and settlement patterns of the region's inhabitants long before modern road systems reshaped the Appalachian landscape.
