About this map

Thornwood sits at the confluence of several mountain drainages where the East Fork Greenbrier River begins its course. This highland region is defined by the intersection of the Monongahela National Forest and George Washington National Forest, creating a landscape of high-elevation knobs and ridges. Prominent peaks such as Smoke Camp Knob, Colaw Knob, and Rough Knob dictate the movement of local waters like Buffalo Fork and Bearwallow Run.

A network of forest roads and trails, including the Rothkugel Trl and Smoke Camp Trl, provides access to remote features like Buffalo Lake. The map details the complex political geography of the area, showing the borders where Pocahontas and Pendleton counties meet the Virginia state line at Highland County. This modern survey reflects a landscape primarily dedicated to public forest lands and conservation, centered on the small settlement of Thornwood.
