About this map

Droop Mountain Battlefield State Park marks the high ground of this Pocahontas and Greenbrier County borderland, where the legacy of the Civil War is preserved atop Droop Mountain. The landscape is defined by its ridge-and-valley topography, with the Greenbrier River winding through the southern reaches near Golden and Julia. This 2011 survey captures a series of small, traditional communities such as Jacox, Modoc, and Renicks Valley that are connected by winding mountain roads and local thoroughfares like Lobelia Rd.

A legacy of rural settlement is evident in the numerous family and community burial grounds, including Mountain Gate Cemetery and Sunset Cemetery. In the northeast, the Locust Creek Covered Bridge stands as a notable landmark near Locust Creek Spring. From the heights of Kennison Mountain to the bottoms along Spring Creek, the map details a region where traditional land use and conservation coexist, centered around the historic mountain pass and the surrounding highlands.
