Abandoned Appalachia: Wayland High School and Gym

Year: 2025
Type: other
Abstract: Abandoned Appalachia Series A school in the bend of Beaver Creek Wayland sits in the hills of Floyd County, Kentucky, a coal town whose footprint shows up neatly on the U.S. Geological Survey's 7.5-minute Wayland quadrangle. The quadrangle places the school site and gym in the narrow valley bottom, with the town hemmed in by steep ridges that channeled community life toward the schoolhouse and its court.
