About this map

Industrial activity and high-elevation terrain define this portion of Greenbrier County as it was mapped in the 1990s. The small settlement of Duo serves as a central point in a landscape heavily marked by resource extraction, featuring numerous Strip Mines, a Tipple, and a Stag Dump. This extraction work is set against the backdrop of significant topographical features like Meadow Bluff Mountain and Beech Mountain, highlighting the proximity of heavy industry to the protected lands of the Monongahela National Forest.

The complex drainage network includes Briery Creek and Little Clear Cr, flowing through deep valleys separated by prominent ridges such as Smokehouse Ridge and Kuhn Ridge. For genealogists and local historians, the map preserves specific landmarks like Kuhn Glades and family-named peaks including Joe Knob and Wildcat Knob. The map reveals the intricate haul roads and infrastructure necessary to support the coal industry within this mountain environment.
