Tug Fork carves a deep valley along the boundary between West Virginia and Kentucky, serving as the primary corridor for both the Norfolk Southern railway and US Rte 52. The landscape is defined by its numerous small settlements and family cemeteries that line the steep hollows, particularly around Crum and Webb. This 2016 survey documents the enduring community structures of Wayne County, including Missouri Branch and Hode, where residential development clings to the narrow flatlands beside Bull Mtn and Wells Mtn. The proliferation of burial sites such as Sammons Cem, McCoy Cem, and Parsley Cem provides a dense genealogical record for families connected to these Appalachian hills. The road network, including Hode Rd and Webb Rd, follows the winding paths of creeks like Jennie Cr and Bark Camp Br, illustrating how the local geography has dictated transit for generations.
