About this map

Marlinton serves as the focal point of this 2014 survey, situated where the Greenbrier River meets Knapp Creek. The town's layout is centered around the Marlinton City Bridge and is surrounded by distinct neighborhoods such as Beard Heights and Stillwell. Beyond the municipal center, the landscape is defined by its deep relationship with water and topography, featuring named springs like Adam Moore Chalybeate Spring and Gurry Neil Spring.

The presence of the Monongahela National Forest covers much of the surrounding highlands, including Stony Creek Mtn and Buckley Mtn. Local history is preserved in small settlements like Huntersville and scattered burial sites such as Mtn View Cem and Messir Cem. The naming of numerous hollows, including McLaughlin Hollow and Moore Hollow, alongside landforms like Jericho Flat, reflects a long-established pattern of rural residency and agricultural land use in this part of Pocahontas County.
