Gilboa and the surrounding Nicholas County highlands are defined here by a deeply dissected landscape of steep ridges and winding watercourses like Twentymile Creek and Peters Creek. During the late 1960s, the region was in a period of transition as the massive Summersville Lake reservoir began to reshape the southeastern corner of the quadrangle. Extensive strip mines are visible across the hills, signaling the intense industrial scale of coal extraction in the Grant and Jefferson districts.
