About this map

The Tug Fork river defines the western boundary of this landscape, carving a deep valley that separates Wayne County, West Virginia, from Lawrence County, Kentucky. The settlement of Webb sits along this river corridor, while the inland terrain is dominated by high ridges like Wells Mountain and Bull Mountain. These heights are intersected by numerous hollows and creeks, including Coon Creek and Bull Creek, creating the characteristic dissected topography of the region.

Genealogists will find a high density of family-named burial sites scattered across the ridges and along the hollows, such as Thomas Copley Cem, Bailey Chaffin Cem, and Sammons Cem. The road network is anchored by US Rte 52, which winds through Breezy Gap and serves the community of Crum. This survey also documents the eastern reaches of the territory near Missouri Branch and the West Fork Twelvepole Creek, illustrating the remote and specialized settlement patterns found within the Appalachian highlands.
