About this map

The Greenbrier River carves a winding path through the heart of the Pocahontas and Greenbrier county line, anchoring a landscape where public lands and small riverside settlements converge. Near the northern bend, the community of Denmar is prominent, noted for its State Hospital and utility infrastructure including Water Tanks and Sewage Disposal. The Chesapeake and Ohio railroad follows the river's eastern bank, serving as the primary transportation artery for small stops like Beard and Burnsides.

Elevations rise sharply away from the water into the Watoga State Park and Calvin Price State Forest, where a network of primitive routes like the Lookout Tower Trail and various Jeep Trails traverse the ridges. Cultural markers such as Old Droop Ch near Locust and scattered Cem locations provide touchpoints for genealogical research in this heavily forested region, which is largely protected within the Monongahela National Forest.
