The confluence of the New River and the Greenbrier River defines the landscape of this 2014 survey, where the city of Hinton serves as a central hub. The river system is a dominant feature, carving through the terrain and creating notable landforms like Coney Island and Bushes Island near the town of Avis. To the south, the waters of Bluestone Lake represent a major geographic boundary, while the northern reaches of the map include protected lands within the New River Gorge National River. Smaller settlements such as Nimitz, Jumping Branch, and Brooks are connected by a network of local roads like Pluto Rd and Freezeland Rd. Genealogists will find several burial sites noted across the ridges, including Crews Cem, Restwood Cem, and Hilltop Cem, offering a detailed look at the rural cemetery placement in Summers County.
