About this city
Man is a small, close-knit mountain town nestled along the Guyandotte River at the mouth of Buffalo Creek in Logan County, West Virginia. Deeply rooted in the Appalachian timber and coal industries, the town gained tragic national attention due to the catastrophic 1972 Buffalo Creek flood. In the modern era, Man has completely revitalized its local economy by serving as one of the most vital trailside trailheads for backcountry off-road vehicle touring in the United States.
