About this map

Cornstalk and Clintonville anchor this 1970s survey of Greenbrier County, where the transition from high ridgelines to fertile bottomlands defines the local geography. Significant church sites like New Salem Ch and New Bethel Ch are central to the small settlements scattered among the folds of Cross Mountain and Buffalo Mountain. A network of old industrial pathways is visible in the Old Railroad Grade and numerous jeep trails that cross the upland ridges.

Genealogists and local historians can find family-named landmarks such as Huggins Knob and Rose Knob, alongside community institutions like James Chapel and Sunrise Chapel. The landscape is further detailed by unique natural features like Kuhn Glades and the karst drainage of Sinking Creek, which flows near the community of Williamsburg. This edition incorporates photogrammetric updates from the turn of the 1980s, revealing late-century land-use patterns in the Blue Sulphur and Meadow Bluff districts.
