2019 Map of Wilsondale

About this map

Wilsondale and the surrounding hollows of Wayne and Mingo Counties are defined by a complex network of ridges and watercourses. This landscape is a patchwork of family lineage, with dozens of small burial grounds such as Meade and Messer Cem, Perry Ridge Cem, and Baisden Cem located along the high ground of Martinsridge and Beech Ridge. The transportation patterns here are heavily influenced by the narrow valleys of West Fork Twelvepole Creek and Jennie Cr, where localized infrastructure like the Lora Fleming Memorial Bridge and the Breeden Tunnel facilitate movement through the steep terrain.
