2016 Map of Corliss

About this map

The Meadow River carves a winding path through the borderlands of Nicholas, Greenbrier, and Fayette counties, defining the landscape of this 2016 survey. This period finds the corridor in a state of transition as the Meadow River Trail is shown under construction, repurposing the river's banks for modern recreation near the distinctive river bend known as The Loop. Small settlements like Nutterville, Burdette, and Bingham are scattered across the high ridges and flats, connected by narrow mountain roads such as Bingham Rd and Co Rte 2. Genealogical interest centers on the area around Sugargrove Knob, where the Sugar Grove United Methodist Church and the adjacent Sugar Grove Cem serve the local community. Further south, the map documents smaller locales including Shillings Flat and Surbaugh, alongside family-named landmarks like Daubenspeck Knob and Keester Ridge.
