2019 Map of Corliss

About this map

The Meadow River carves a deep, winding path through this corner of the West Virginia mountains, where the borders of Nicholas, Greenbrier, and Fayette counties meet. This 2019 survey captures the landscape as it transitions from its industrial past to a recreational future, most notably through the Meadow River Rail-Trail, which follows the river's bend at The Loop. Small settlements like Nutterville, Burdette, and Bingham are scattered along the ridges and hollows, often defined by local landmarks such as the Sugar Grove United Methodist Church and the adjacent Sugar Grove Cem. The map illustrates the complex topography of the region, from the heights of Laurel Creek Mtn and Beargarden Knob down to the creek beds of Kates Cr and Miller Cr. Genealogists and local historians can trace the network of old county roads, including Corliss Rd and Bingham Rd, that connect these mountain communities.
