New River Gorge National River defines the central axis of this West Virginia study, where the rugged terrain of the Plateau drops sharply toward the water. The corridor is shaped by the industrial legacy of the New River, characterized by numerous strip mines, quarries, and extensive rail infrastructure including 3 Tracks and several conveyor systems. Settlements like Thurmond and Beury are perched along the riverbanks, serving as focal points for the region's historic mining and rail activity.
