St. George and the winding course of the Cheat River define this corner of Tucker County, where the river carves deep oxbows like Horseshoe Bend through the high country. Small riverfront settlements and agricultural pockets at Auvil and Holly Meadows occupy the narrow valley floors, shadowed by the steep rises of Limestone Mtn and Mount Zion Ridge. This area, much of which is within the Monongahela National Forest, maintains a rural character dominated by the drainage systems of Clover Run and Horseshoe Run. Genealogists will find several family and community burial grounds scattered across the high ridges and valley slopes, including the Bonnifield Cem near the river and Fairview Cem on the eastern heights. The map also traces the Upper Cheat River Water Trail, reflecting the river's central role in local recreation and geography.
