New River Gorge National River dominates this topographical portrait of the central New River canyon. The CSX rail line follows the river's winding course, serving a series of settlements built into the narrow benchlands and hillsides, including the historic railroad hub of Thurmond and the river towns of McKendree, Thayer, and Claremont. The terrain is defined by steep elevation changes from the water's edge at Silo Rapids and Surprise Rapids up to the high plateaus of Garden Ground Mtn and Beury Mtn.
