2019 Map of Meadow Creek

About this map

New River Gorge National River dominates this landscape, where the New River carves through the central highlands of West Virginia. The terrain is marked by significant peaks such as Backus Mtn and Plumley Mtn, with the deep river valley providing a corridor for both nature and travel. Small settlements like Meadow Creek, Abraham, and Backus are scattered throughout the heights and hollows, often centered around family landmarks and community sites like the Bragg School-Abraham and New Salem Church Cem. Genealogists will find a variety of local burial grounds, including Harrah Cem and Saint Colman's Cem. The southern reach of the map features notable river landmarks including Sandstone Falls and the Mary Draper Ingles Bridge, highlighting the convergence of modern infrastructure and natural waterway features in the New River valley.
