1969 Map of Thornwood

About this map

The East Fork Greenbrier River carves through the center of this terrain, where the high ridges of the Alleghenies meet along the West Virginia and Virginia border. In the late 1960s, this landscape was defined by the intersection of the Monongahela National Forest and the George Washington National Forest. The small settlement of Thornwood serves as a primary point of human activity near the junction of the East Fork and the river, while the Buffalo Fork Dam creates a notable water feature to the south near Little Spruce Run.
