About this map

Clintonville and the surrounding Greenbrier County highlands are characterized by a complex network of ridges and hollows, where small settlements like Cornstalk and Hughart are linked by winding county routes. The landscape transitions from the flats of LaFayette Bottom to the high elevations of Buffalo Mtn and Cross Mtn. Local family and place names are preserved in features such as Huggins Knob, Mullins Hollow, and Rose Knob.

Water sources play a vital role in the topography, with Little Clear Cr and the subterranean-sounding Sinking Cr cutting through the terrain. For those researching local heritage, the map identifies specific burial grounds including Wallace Memorial Cem and the evocatively named At the End of the Trail Cem near the southern boundary. This 2019 survey documents a landscape where traditional Appalachian place-names like Kieffer persist alongside modern transit corridors like Midland Trl W.
