About this map

Twelvepole Creek and its winding West Fork carve through the heart of this Wayne County landscape, dictating the placement of historic settlements like Wayne, Sidney, and Coleman. The topographical detail reveals a network of narrow valleys and hollows, such as Deadwood Hollow and Rocky Hollow, where small family cemeteries are frequently found. These burial sites, including the Bailey Cemetery and Jackson Cemetery, offer critical touchstones for genealogists tracing local families in the hills.

In the southeast, the East Lynn Dam and the East Lynn Post Office mark the community of East Lynn, where the terrain shifts toward more significant water management features. The distribution of small locales such as Elmwood, Echo, and Armilda along creek branches like Wilson Creek and Patrick Creek highlights a traditional Appalachian settlement pattern where habitation follows the natural drainage of the land.
