About this map

The East Fork Greenbrier River carves through the heart of this landscape, marking the small settlement of Thornwood. Located in a mountainous borderland, the area is defined by the convergence of the Monongahela National Forest and the George Washington National Forest. The map detail captures a network of high ridges and hollows, including Smoke Camp Knob and Burner Mtn, which frame the narrow river valleys.

Historically significant for its timber and recreation, the terrain is accessed by routes like the Rothkugel Smoke Camp road and the Allegheny Rd. Water features such as Buffalo Lake and the Little River illustrate the complex drainage patterns of the high Alleghenies. The map also delineates the state boundary between West Virginia and Virginia, as well as the meeting point of Pocahontas, Pendleton, and Highland counties.
