Mud Fork Road runs up the valley from Mount Gay in the east (near Logan), through Verdunville and Shegon to the northwest, and leads eventually to Dingess in Mingo County. U.S. Route 119, a four-lane expressway, forms the eastern edge of the Verdunville CDP, with the closest access from an interchange with West Virginia Route 73 north of the Mud Fork valley.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the Verdunville CDP has a total area of 2.7 square miles (6.9 km2), of which 1.1 acres (4,549 m2), or 0.07%, are water.[1]
