2016 Map of Prince

About this map

The New River carves a dramatic path through the center of this terrain, encircling the distinct landform of Stretcher Neck where the Stretcher Neck Tunnel bypasses the river's long bend. This landscape is defined by its industrial and recreational history, anchored by the New River Gorge National River and settlements like Prince, Quinnimont, and Royal that grew along the rail-and-river corridor. To the south, the plateau supports the communities of Grandview and Crow, alongside the Raleigh County Memorial Airport. Civil engineering marks the region, from the Thomas Buford Pugh Memorial Bridge crossing the river to the P.G. McDonald Memorial Bridge on the southern edge. The map captures a mix of rugged natural features like Turkey Spur Rock and Batoff Mtn with human elements like the Plumley Cem, offering a detailed view of Fayette and Raleigh counties.
