Discovering Peewee, West Virginia
Peewee is a unique spot in West Virginia. It's known as an "unincorporated community." This means it doesn't have its own local government, like a mayor or city council. Instead, it's part of the larger county.
What is an Unincorporated Community?
Imagine a neighborhood that isn't part of a specific town or city. That's kind of what an unincorporated community is. People live there, but services like roads and schools are usually managed by the county government. It's different from a city, which has its own local rules and leaders.
Peewee's Location and Surroundings
Peewee is found along local roads. It lies to the southwest of Elizabeth, which is the main town in Wirt County. Elizabeth is also the county seat, meaning it's where the county government offices are located. Peewee sits at an elevation of 679 feet (about 207 meters) above sea level. This elevation tells us how high the land is compared to the ocean.
Rivers and Creeks in Peewee
An interesting natural feature of Peewee is its waterways. A creek called Right Reedy Creek actually begins right here. It forms when two smaller streams, Enoch Fork and Fulls Fork, flow together and join up. This meeting point of the two forks creates the larger Right Reedy Creek.
