About this map

The Greenbrier River carves a deep path through Greenbrier County, anchoring a landscape where river-level transport and high-ridge forestry meet. The Greenbrier River Rail-Trail follows the river's winding eastern bank, tracing the legacy of the old rail corridor through small settlements like Gardner and Woodman. In the northern section, Falling Spring and Spring Creek serve as local hubs near the Renick Bridge, with the Morning Side Cem and Walnut Grove Cem providing essential points of interest for genealogists tracking families in this river valley.

Heavily forested slopes of the Monongahela National Forest rise sharply from the water, marked by distinctive terrain such as Gunpowder Ridge and Peach Orchard Ridge. The mapping of small hamlets like Anthony, Henning, and Auto along the secondary road network illustrates the persistent rural settlement patterns that define this portion of West Virginia, where level ground for farming is found mostly in the tight bends of the river or atop high spurs like Long Spur.
