About this map

The Greenbrier River curves through the southeastern corner of this Pocahontas County landscape, where the valley floor meets the rising elevations of Thorny Creek Mountain and Cloverlick Mtn. Most of the terrain is protected within the Monongahela National Forest, a character defined by high peaks like Moffett Knob and Gay Knob overlooking numerous drainage basins such as Indian Draft and Warwick Run.

Settlement is concentrated along the western corridor, where the community of Edray serves as a local hub near a state Fish Hatchery. Local genealogy is well-represented through family-named landmarks and rural congregations, including Gibson Cem, Marys Chapel, and Wilson Chapel. The inclusion of the Highland Scenic Highway and various Jeep Trails illustrates the 1970s-era transition toward recreational access in this heavily forested portion of West Virginia.
