The Greenbrier River carves a dramatic path through the center of this landscape, notably creating the horseshoe loop of Big Bend and the deep Stony Creek Gorge. Along its banks and the neighboring New River, small settlements like Bargers Springs and Crumps Bottom define a community structured by river valleys and ridges. Local genealogy is anchored by sites like the Fairview Baptist Church Cem and the Huffman Cem near Buck. The terrain is defined by prominent high points such as Wolf Creek Mtn and Big Bend Mtn, while the border between Summers Co and Monroe Co cuts through the southeastern corner near Indian Creek. This layout reveals how historical mountain roads like Seminole Rd and Barger Springs Rd followed the natural contours of the land to connect isolated villages like Marie and Bertha.
