2011 Map of Marlinton

About this map

The Greenbrier River and Knapp Creek converge at Marlinton, the central hub of this Pocahontas County landscape. The settlement pattern follows the narrow valley floors, with Campbelltown to the north and Beard Heights and Stillwell positioned along the river corridor to the south. The topography is defined by high ridges like Marlin Mountain and Buckley Mountain, where the terrain rises sharply from the watercourses. Local family history is preserved at the Mountain View Cemetery, Messir Cemetery, and Beaver Creek Cemetery. Historically significant sites like Huntersville sit further east along Knapp Creek, while civic infrastructure is noted at the Marlinton Post Office and the Marlin Run Structure One Dam. Numerous hollows, such as Kee Hollow and Gilden Hollow, suggest the deep-cut drainage patterns of the Allegheny Mountains, where small runs like Sunday Lick Run and Monday Lick Run feed the primary river system.
