2019 Map of Rainelle

About this map

The timber-and-transit hub of Rainelle occupies a significant bend in the Meadow River, where the Midland Trl and various mountain routes converge. This 2019 survey documents a landscape defined by the winding paths of Sewell Creek and Little Sewell Creek, which cut through the high ground of Sewell Mountain. Historically significant settlements like Bellwood, Maywood, and Lilly Park are shown alongside smaller residential pockets such as Sims and Shawver. Notable for local researchers is the Meadow River Rail-Trail, an adaptive reuse project following the river's path northward toward McRoss. The topography is marked by named summits including Stevens Knob and Buster Knob, while genealogists can locate the Henson Cemetery situated south of the mountain gap at Spring Dale.
