2016 Map of Durbin

About this map

The town of Durbin serves as the focal point of this survey, situated at the confluence where the East Fork Greenbrier River and West Fork Greenbrier River meet to form the Greenbrier River. This 2016 record shows the transition of industrial infrastructure into recreational use, specifically the W Fork Rail Trail which follows the river's winding path through the Monongahela National Forest. The landscape is defined by high-elevation peaks like Gaudineer Knob and Back Allegheny Mtn, with the county line between Randolph and Pocahontas following the mountain ridges. Cultural history is preserved through numerous family and community landmarks, including the Tannery Truss Bridge, the Mabel Burner Memorial Bridge, and a series of rural cemeteries such as Bethel Cem, Yeager Cem, and Saint Mark Cem. The map provides a detailed view of the small settlements of Nottingham, Olive, and Burner scattered along the river valley.
