About this map

Anthony Creek meanders through the heart of the Monongahela National Forest in this late-1960s survey of Greenbrier County. The landscape is defined by its deep valley hollows and the towering ridges of Slabcamp Mountain and Beaver Lick Mountain. The small settlement of Alvon serves as a local hub near Fleming Run, while further north, the Anthony Correctional Center and the community of Neola sit near the confluence of Meadow Cr and the main creek.

A notable network of service and resource infrastructure is visible, including a Pumping Station and several water-management features. The map captures rural social centers like the Little Creek Ch and Anthony Creek Sch, which anchored these remote communities. Along the eastern edge, the boundary between West Virginia and Virginia follows the crest of Allegheny Mountain, marking the transition into the George Washington National Forest.
