About this map

The Greenbrier River dictates the layout of this West Virginia landscape, winding through a complex topography where the borders of Greenbrier, Summers, and Monroe counties converge. The town of Alderson serves as a primary hub, its street grid organized around thoroughfares like Riverview Ave W and E Chestnut Ave. Local history is anchored by several burial sites, including the Old Greenbrier Baptist Church Cem and the Alderson-Fletcher Addition Cem.

Transport and transit patterns are visible in the placement of the Hinton-Alderson Airport and the strategic Alderson Bridge. Smaller communities such as Lowell, Talcott, and Pence Springs dot the riverbanks, connected by rural routes like Clayton Rd and Creamery Rd. Higher elevations like Wind Creek Mtn and Patricks Peak overlook the narrow valleys where settlements like Glenray and Barnettown were established near the water.
