About this map

Whitesville serves as a primary hub where the Marsh Fork and Clear Fork meet to form the Big Coal River. This 2014 survey documents the dense corridor of settlements and industry along the river valley on the border of Boone and Raleigh counties. The map traces the winding paths of Coal River Rd and the Blue Pennant Rd, connecting established communities like Montcoal, Stickney, and Edwight.

Evidence of the region's industrial footprint is visible in features like the Robinhood Impoundment and Matts Creek Portal Rd. Local history is preserved through numerous family-named landmarks and cemeteries, including Mordue Cem, Asbury Cem, and Bailey Cem. To the west, the landscape is defined by the high elevations of Bald Knob and Cook Mtn, while the valleys host smaller hamlets such as Twilight and Lindytown.
