How to find property lines in Logan County
On rural tracts near Amherstdale, the parcel lines can drift from the fences on the ground, sometimes by more than a few feet. Rural tracts near Chapmanville follow metes-and-bounds calls, so their shapes on the map track creeks, roads and old fences. For a fence, an addition or a dispute in Logan County, budget for a licensed survey; it's the answer a court or a lender will accept.
The lay of the land in Logan County
Start your bearings with Logan, the county seat, then Chapmanville, Man, Mitchell Heights, and West Logan. Smaller places such as Accoville, Amherstdale, and Big Creek show up as clusters of lots along the roads. The county dates to 1824, named for Chief Logan, and older deeds may still refer to landmarks from that era. The county's land area is about 454 square miles, and the Census Bureau estimated 30,827 residents there in 2023. It's a middle-density county, so the map shifts from small platted lots near Mitchell Heights to farm and wooded tracts within a few miles.
Private and public hunting ground in Logan County
Near Mitchell Heights, a single field edge can separate two owners with very different answers about access; the map tells you which is which. The West Virginia Division of Natural Resources publishes the seasons and public-land maps, so pair those with the parcel layer. Ask owners near Mitchell Heights early, ask politely, and send a thank-you after the season.
