The Greenbrier River carves a deep path through the mountains of Summers, Greenbrier, and Monroe Counties, anchoring the town of Alderson. This 2019 survey documents the river valley’s long-standing role as a corridor for transport and settlement, featuring the Alderson Bridge and several important regional landmarks. To the east, the Old Greenbrier Baptist Church and the adjacent Old Greenbrier Baptist Church Cem stand as significant historical sites. The terrain is marked by high points like Keeney Knob, topped by the Keeney Knob Fire Tower, and peaks such as Dempsey Mtn and Wolf Creek Mtn. Small settlements and locales like Pence Springs, Talcott, Glenray, and Elmhurst are connected by a network of rural roads and crossings, including the Pence Springs Bridge and the Hinton-Alderson Airport located in the river bottom near Riffe.
