2014 Map of Winslow

About this map

Guyandotte River flows through the northeast corner of this Cabell County landscape, where the settlement of Owens Crossing sits near the base of the Mayapple Mts. The topography is defined by narrow ridges and winding hollows, including Doss Hill and the waters of Heath Cr and Merritt Cr. This 2014 survey documents a region where community identity is rooted in the drainages of Beech Fork and Raccoon Creek, with several small settlements such as Winslow and Bowen connected by a network of county roads. For local historians and genealogists, the map reveals the locations of family burial grounds and community landmarks like Floral Oaks Cem, Morrison Cem, and Wallace Cem. The presence of Beech Fork Lake in the west signifies a shift in the local hydrology, while the borders of Wayne Co and Cabell Co weave through the central hills.
