SURROUNDING AREA
Pleasant Valley Farm is located in the Cumberland Mountains region of southwestern West Virginia, an area perhaps best known as a destination for outdoor recreation and off-road vehicle tourism. Thousands of tourists visit the region to explore the rugged landscape using all-terrain vehicles (ATVs), utility-terrain vehicles (UTVs), and other motorized off-road vehicles. The network of trails and backroads that lead through the region is complimented by designated and maintained off-road trails managed by the state-operated Hatfield-McCoy Trails. The region was formerly among the most productive coal-mining regions in the world. Many tourists are drawn to the ghost towns and abandoned industrial sites that may still be found within its forested mountains. Hundreds of thousands of miners and their families lived in the surrounding mountains through the early 1900s, though by the 1950s, employment began to dwindle. The richest seams had been mined out, and mechanization replaced many traditional mining jobs. For instance, the population of adjoining McDowell County had dropped from nearly 100,000 people in 1950 to little more than 10,000 today. Though the decline in mining presented enormous difficulties, the decrease in population and industrialism allowed the environment to renew. Forests teeming with wildlife now cover vast expanses of mountain terrain, and some streams in the region are nearly primeval in their character, notably those in nearby Twin Falls State Park. Residents cite the rural landscape and its welcoming communities as a principal reason for their residency. Coalfields Expressway
A significant factor in regional growth, a new multi-lane expressway now connects the area to Interstates 64 and 77 at Beckley 22-mile drive that can be completed in less than half an hour. A new section under construction will see a second exit built less than five miles from the property. The route will eventually extend to the US-52 expressway in western Virginia, opening some of the most rugged regions in the Appalachian Mountains to increased commerce. The expressways completion into the area has resulted in a sharp increase in regional residential and commercial investment. COMMUNITIES
Herndon, WV, is an unincorporated community in Wyoming County, West Virginia, United States. It has a population of 566 as of 2010. Bud, WV, is a census-designated place in Wyoming County, West Virginia, United States, along Barkers Creek and West Virginia Route 10. As of the 2010 census, its population was 487.

Two miles east of Itmann, Mullens is the largest municipality in the region, with some 1,500 residents. The national historic district in Mullens includes 95 buildings built between 1918 and 1929. The town is sometimes considered a bedroom community within the greater Beckley metropolitan area and is a drive of 25 minutes from the city by the Coalfields Expressway. Pineville
The seat of justice for Wyoming County, Pinevilles population, is nearly 650. It may best be known for its elaborate stone courthouse, built by many of the stonemasons employed to supervise the construction of the historic Itmann store. The Castle Rock towering near the center of the community, is a renowned natural wonder. City of Beckley

REGIONAL ATTRACTIONS
Tourism is now a chief economic force in the region, especially where off-road vehicle recreation is concerned. Primary travel draws are hiking, biking, hunting, fishing, camping, and kayaking. Though the coal industry employs many mine workers and the timber industry employs many laborers, the travel industry continues to employ and supplement an increasing number of county residents. Many residents have opened restaurants and lodging facilities, including cabins and vacation rentals, to host visitors exploring the off-road adventure trail network. Hatfield-McCoy Trails

Part of the Hatfield-McCoy Trails, the trail explores more than 100 miles of some of the most rugged mountain country in the Mountain State.

S. into a world power capable of defending itself through two world wars. The National Coal Heritage Authority administrates the route. Guyandotte River Water Trail
One of the states new flatwater-paddling trails, the Guyandotte Water Trail descends through some of the most rugged mountain forests in the Appalachian chain, flowing past the Itmann property on its 135-mile course from the roots of Great Flat Top Mountain to the Ohio River. A carry-down boat access site is located at Itmann across WV-10 just upstream of the property. Another is 3.2 miles upstream at Mullens. A third is five miles downstream at Guyandotte Roadside Park. R. D. Bailey Lake
The 630-acre R. D. Bailey Lake welcomes campers, anglers, and boaters. Hunting is permitted in the state wildlife management area in season.
