1969 Map of Meadow Bridge

About this map

Meadow Bridge serves as the focal point of this 1969 topographic study, situated along the upper reaches of Meadow Creek where the boundaries of Fayette, Greenbrier, and Summers counties converge. The landscape is defined by the high ridges of Patterson Mountain and Wallohole Mountain, separating small farming and residential pockets like Green Sulphur Springs and Lockbridge. Cultural life in these hollows is anchored by numerous country churches, including Little Meadow Ch, Lane Ch, and Mountain View Ch, alongside a notable mid-century Drive-in Theater west of Coon Creek. While the terrain is dominated by peaks like Beelick Knob and Hump Mtn, the inclusion of the New River Gorge National River boundary reflects the transition of this area toward conservation and recreation during the late 1960s.
