2023 Map of Forest Hill
USGS Topo · Published 2023About this map
The Greenbrier River carves a dramatic path through the Appalachian landscape, defining the topography of this corner of Summers County. Its course includes the sharp oxbow at Big Bend, flanked by the heights of Big Bend Mountain. Further south, the confluence of Indian Creek and the New River marks the lowlands of Crumps Bottom, an area of significance for early river valley settlement. The map reveals a network of upland communities like Forest Hill and Marie positioned along ridgeline roads, contrasting with river-oriented locations such as Bargers Springs near the Stony Creek Gorge. Genealogists will find several historical burial grounds and places of worship, including the Fairview Baptist Church Cem and the Huffman Cem. The terrain is characterized by deep drainages like Kate Hollow and Dickinson Hollow, which historically dictated the movement of goods and people between isolated farmsteads and rural post offices.
