About this map

Durbin serves as a central hub within the Monongahela National Forest, where the topography is defined by the high ridges of Back Allegheny Mtn and Gaudineer Knob. The landscape is intricately tied to its waterways, particularly the West Fork Greenbrier River and East Fork Greenbrier River, which converge near these historic mountain settlements. The infrastructure of the area reflects a transition from industrial rail use to recreational corridors, evidenced by the W Fork Rail-Trail and the Widney Park Rail-Trail.

Genealogists can find significant local data through a concentration of family and community burial sites, including Hauchen Cem, Keller Cem, and Yeager Cem. Architectural landmarks like the Tannery Truss Bridge and the Mabel Burner Memorial Bridge span the river systems, connecting established points such as Frank and Bartow. The map captures a landscape of managed forest, small settlements, and the enduring tracks of the old river-valley railways.
