About this map

Anthony Creek meanders through a deep valley between Beaver Lick Mountain and Allegheny Mountain, anchoring a landscape defined by forest management and small settlements. This mid-1990s record of the Greenbrier County backcountry shows a region where the Monongahela National Forest and George Washington National Forest meet at the West Virginia and Virginia state line. The map captures the social infrastructure of the valley, from the Anthony Creek Sch and Little Creek Ch to the Anthony Correctional Center near Neola.

Resource extraction and utility are evident in the presence of a Mine and a Pumping Station along the waterways. Genealogists will find interest in several family-named landmarks such as Browns Hollow and Humphreys Hollow. The topography is marked by notable high points like the Hopkins Mtn Observation Site and Dawson Point, overlooking the numerous runs and drafts that feed into the central creek system.
