About this map

The Greenbrier River shapes the northern landscape of this region, where the town of Ronceverte serves as a primary hub. The terrain to the south transitions into a network of ridges and narrow valleys, defined by features like Jones Mountain and Eads Ridge. Local history is anchored in several small settlements and community landmarks, including Organ Cave, Patton, and Secondcreek.

Tracing the rural road system reveals many family-named landmarks and historical sites, such as the Morgan Cemetery and Lebanon Cemetery. This area’s hydrology is particularly complex, featuring Big Spring and numerous winding waterways like Plankcabin Creek and Second Creek. These water sources and the varied topography of Rayburn Draft and Boggs Hightop influenced the development of early homesteads and agricultural patterns in Greenbrier County.
