About this map

North Bend and the surrounding highlands of Greenbrier County are defined by the convergence of the North Fork Cherry River and the South Fork Cherry River. The landscape is a network of ridges and watercourses, anchored by the recreational hub at Summit Lake, which includes the Summit Lake Dam and Summit Lake Campground. This area of the Monongahela National Forest transition is marked by numerous high points with local lineage, including Bearwallow Knob, Rockcamp Knob, and Manning Knob.

A network of drainage runs and branches, such as Tenmile Branch and Little Lick Run, carve through the terrain between Fork Mountain and Sugartree Bench Mountain. The presence of the North Bend Picnic Area and access via Richwood Rd suggests a landscape managed for both timber and public access. For genealogists and local historians, the specific naming of remote locations like Lost Flat and Slide Hollow provides precise geographic context for family records and land use in this part of West Virginia.
