About this map

The Wayne County Courthouse stands as the civic anchor of this West Virginia landscape, situated near the confluence of Twelvepole Creek and Garrett Cr. This 2019 survey captures the intricate topography of the region, where narrow hollows like Deadwood Hollow and Rocky Hollow define the settlement patterns. Numerous small communities such as Elmwood, Sidney, and Genoa are dispersed along the winding creek valleys and secondary roads.

Genealogists will find a high density of family and community burial grounds, including the Dickerson Cem, Adkins Cem, and Bailey Cem, which are tucked away on ridges and hillsides. The southern portion of the map is shaped by the presence of East Lynn Lake, where the Left Fork Lynn Cr and Right Fork Lynn Cr meet. The map documents a rural landscape still deeply tied to its natural hydrology and traditional county seat infrastructure.
