2014 Map of Wayne

About this map

Twelvepole Creek and the West Fork Twelvepole Creek wind through the heart of Wayne County, defining the settlement patterns of this central West Virginia landscape. The town of Wayne serves as a primary hub, situated near the northern edge where Toms Cr meets the main waterway. Local genealogy is well-documented across the terrain, with family-named sites such as Bailey Cem, Adkins Cem, and Ferguson Cem scattered among the hollows and ridges. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the reservoir of East Lynn Lake, which gathers the waters of the Right Fork Lynn Cr and Luster Fork. This landscape reflects a community deeply tied to its narrow valleys and ridges, with small settlements like Genoa, Sidney, and East Lynn connected by a network of rural roads that follow the winding paths of the numerous local branches.
