2016 Map of Williams Mountain

About this map

Prenter and Andrew serve as focal points in this Boone County landscape, which is defined by a dense network of mountain hollows and steep creek valleys. The settlement of Williams Mountain sits high among these ridges, while industrial activity is evidenced by the Chesterfield Mine Siltation Pond near Robinson Cr. Genealogists will find a concentration of family burial grounds throughout the terrain, including Williams Cem, Miller Cem, and Jarrells Cem, often located on the slopes above the stream beds. The Daniel Boone Pkwy and Co HWY 12 provide the primary transit through the area, following the winding paths of Drawdy Cr and Sandlick Cr. This topographic study reveals how coal mining and residential settlements have adapted to the narrow valleys of the West Virginia coalfields.
