About this map

Marlinton serves as the focal point of this Pocahontas County landscape, situated at the confluence of the Greenbrier River and Knapp Creek. The 1990s terrain reveals a mix of civic infrastructure and protected wilderness, with the town's grid featuring Mountain View Cem and a nearby Radio Tower. To the east, the settlement of Huntersville sits at the base of Huntersville Mountain, providing a gateway to the extensive Monongahela National Forest.

Tracing the waterways and hollows reveals small communities and landmarks like Stillwell and Campbelltown. Evidence of the region's rural character is found in the scattered houses of worship and burial grounds, such as Cummings Creek Ch and Beaver Creek Cem. The map also captures specialized technology in the form of a Radio Telescope near Herald Knob, underscoring the area's importance for scientific observation within the quiet mountain valleys.
