2019 Map of Marlinton

About this map

Marlinton serves as the focal point of this Pocahontas County landscape, where the Greenbrier River meets the winding Knapp Creek. The town's historic core is anchored by the Pocahontas County Courthouse and the Marlinton City Bridge, surrounded by high terrain like Stony Creek Mtn and Bucks Mtn. To the south, the village of Huntersville sits at the base of Devils Backbone, while the Monongahela National Forest covers much of the eastern and southern reaches. The map reveals a deep connection to local land and family history, evidenced by landmarks such as the Adam Moore Chalybeate Spring and numerous family-named hollows like Moore Hollow and McLaughlin Hollow. Modern transportation and conservation efforts are visible in the Greenbrier River Rail-Trail, which follows the river's path through settlements like Stillwell and Beard Heights, repurposing the old rail corridor for recreation.
