2019 Map of Quinwood

About this map

The town of Quinwood and its neighboring coal-country settlements define this portion of the Nicholas and Greenbrier county line. The map illustrates a densely settled corridor along the Meadow River, where communities like Crichton, Marfrance, Leslie, and Bellburn are closely spaced, reflecting the region's industrial residential patterns. To the north and east, the terrain rises into the Monongahela National Forest, dominated by prominent ridges such as Peaser Ridge and Huggins Ridge. This juxtaposition of concentrated valley settlements and expansive forest highlands highlights the geographical constraints on development in the West Virginia mountains. Local heritage is marked by sites like the Mountain Cem near Carl and a network of named heights including Pollock Mtn and Big Clear Creek Mtn. The detailed road network, from Main St in Crichton to the Coalfield Trl, provides a clear view of the transportation links between these upland towns.
