2023 Map of Wellston

About this map

Wellston and Jackson anchor this contemporary mapping of Jackson County, showcasing a landscape where historical coal-mining settlements have evolved into modern residential and industrial hubs. Small hamlets like Coalton, Glen Roy, and Goldsboro dot the northern reaches, connected by a network of rural roads such as Hard Scrapple Rd and Number 8 Pike. The terrain is defined by a series of north-south drainages including Pigeon Creek, Licks Run, and Sugar Run, which carve through the ridges and valleys of the Franklin Valley and Hothouse Ridge. Genealogists will find this sheet particularly valuable for its high density of rural burial grounds, ranging from the Coalton Cem near the northern border to the Old Bunn Cem in the south, preserving the names of the families who settled these hollows.
