About this map

Lookout and the surrounding high ground of the The Divide dominate this portion of Fayette County, where the landscape is defined by the deep incisions of the Meadow River and its numerous tributaries. The map documents a traditional Appalachian settlement pattern, with small communities like Nallen, Russellville, and Winona positioned along winding mountain roads and watercourses. Significant local heritage is preserved in the locations of the Jennette Cemetery, Tyree Cemetery, and Amick Cemetery, which offer valuable points of reference for genealogists tracing family roots in this coal and timber region.

Institutional land use is prominent at the southern edge of the sheet, featuring the West Virginia State College 4-H Camp and the West Virginia Camp. The terrain is characterized by named elevations such as Betty Bell Knob and Flannigan Mountain, while landmarks like Spy Rock serve as distinctive natural navigation points. The network of drainage, including Glade Creek, Laurel Creek, and Manns Creek, illustrates the complex topography that has historically shaped transport and industry in this part of West Virginia.
