That is an extensive list! Pocahontas County, West Virginia, is known as "Nature's Mountain Playground" and is quite vast, with a small population spread across numerous small communities, natural areas, and historical sites.
While reaching exactly 100 named settlements and points of interest can be challenging for a rural county, I can provide a comprehensive list of towns, census-designated places (CDPs), unincorporated communities, state parks, forests, and key attractions.
