About this map

The confluence of the New River and the Greenbrier River serves as the focal point for this area, where the settlement of Hinton is established as a regional center. The river network is crossed by significant infrastructure including the Hinton Bridge, Bellpoint Bridge, and the Veterans Memorial Bridge, facilitating travel between the urbanized core and surrounding communities like Avis, Bellepoint, and Sunset Hill. Higher elevations are defined by Freezeland Mtn and White Oak Mtn, while the protected lands of the New River Gorge National River line the northern riverbanks.

Institutional and civic life is anchored by the Summers County Courthouse and the Summers County Judicial Annex Building. For those tracing family histories, several burial grounds are scattered across the landscape, from the Meadows Family Cem near Brooks Island to the Crews Cem and Hilltop Cem. Transportation is marked by the presence of the B & O RR and a network of winding roads like White Oak Mt Rd and Madams Creek Rd, which connect rural outposts like Pluto and Nimitz to the river valley.
