Peters Mountain and Allegheny Mountain dominate this landscape, defining the rugged borderlands where West Virginia and Virginia meet. The area is characterized by a dense network of mountain ridges including Kates Mountain and Slaty Mountain, which separate narrow valleys where the region's life was centered in the early 1920s. Along the Greenbrier River, the town of Ronceverte serves as a transportation hub for the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad, while further south, the Norfolk and Western line skirts the edge of the Jefferson National Forest near Paint Bank.
