About this map

The Greenbrier River Rail-Trail follows the winding path of the Greenbrier River as it cuts through the mountains of Greenbrier County. This landscape is defined by the sharp contrast between the narrow, inhabited river valleys and the expansive heights of the Monongahela National Forest. Small settlements like Falling Spring, Anthony, and Spring Creek are positioned along the river's bends, connected by historic crossings such as the Renick Bridge.

Genealogists and local historians can trace family locations near landmarks like Morning Side Cem and Walnut Grove Cem. The map reveals a transition from the agricultural clearings at Vago and Henning to the heavily forested ridges of Peach Orchard Ridge and Gunpowder Ridge. The presence of the Blue Bend recreation area on Anthony Creek highlights the area's long-standing relationship between the river system and public land use.
