Sylvester, WV

united states

Sylvester is a tiny mountain community of 131 people tucked into Boone County's coal country. Reach it via US Route 119 from Charleston (45 miles northeast) or WV Route 3 from Madison, both winding through steep Appalachian ridges. The town sits in a narrow valley typical of West Virginia's mining region, where homes cluster along limited flat ground between forested hillsides.
