About this map

Hillsboro and its surrounding agricultural plains, known as the Little Levels, anchor this 2019 survey of Pocahontas County. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition between the fertile valley floors and the heavily forested ridges of the Monongahela National Forest. Significant water features like the Greenbrier River and Williams River carve through the terrain, while the Greenbrier River Rail-Trail follows the river corridor, marking the legacy of the region's former railroad infrastructure.

Smaller settlements and crossroads such as Mill Point, Seebert, and Buckeye are connected by US Rte 219, which serves as the primary artery through the valley. Local history and genealogy interest is found in family-named landmarks like McNeil Farm Spring and the Thomas C. Edgar Memorial Bridge. The map also captures the high-elevation wilderness of the Yew Mountains and peaks like Bald Knob, illustrating the complex topography that isolated these mountain communities for generations.
