About this map

The Meadow River basin and its surrounding heights define this portion of Greenbrier County, where the historic James River and Kanawha Tpke once carried travelers through the Appalachian terrain. The community of Rupert sits at a significant crossroads, where the Midland Trl intersects local routes leading toward Kessler and Hines. The landscape is a mix of high ridges like Big Clear Creek Mtn and low-lying wetland pockets along Little Clear Cr.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant landmarks such as the Old Amwell Cem and the Callahan School, which point to the rural social fabric of the area. The map also records the transition from old transit corridors to modern aviation with the Rainelle Airport. From the settlement at Meadow Bluff to the southern reach of Smoot, the map traces a network of family-named hollows and mountain gaps, including the distinctively named Opossum Hollow and Turniphole Mtn.
