About this map

Thornwood and its surroundings in the mid-1990s reveal a landscape defined by the convergence of the Monongahela National Forest and George Washington National Forest. The map documents the intricate drainage system of the East Fork Greenbrier River, where numerous runs like Abes Run and Poca Run carve through high ridges. A notable point of human activity is Camp Pocahontas (USFS), situated along the upper reaches of the river.

The boundary between West Virginia and Virginia follows the high crests of Greenbank Mountain and Henry Ridge, separating Pocahontas and Highland counties. To the east, the terrain shifts toward Circleville and the headwaters of Locust Spring Run. Features such as Buffalo Lake and the nearby cemetery at Thornwood suggest a history of both recreational development and long-standing mountain settlement along these high-elevation watercourses.
