About this map

Meadow River meanders through this portion of Greenbrier County, anchoring a landscape where small settlements like McRoss and Hines developed along the winding Us-60 corridor. The terrain is defined by significant ridges, including Mill Creek Mtn and Big Clear Creek Mtn, which separate the various creek branches that feed the river system. Near Meadow Bluff, the land opens slightly at the junction of Otter Cr and Methodist Br, a location historically significant for local travel and commerce.

Local landmarks such as the Old Amwell Cem and Rainelle Airport provide specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians. The presence of Sam Black Bridge and Shawvers Crossing highlights the historical reliance on established river crossings to connect isolated communities like Farmdale and Smoot. This survey also documents the path of the James River and Kanawha Tpke, offering a look at the early transportation infrastructure that shaped this Appalachian region.
