2019 Map of Trout

About this map

Monongahela National Forest dominates the upper reaches of this Greenbrier County terrain, where the high ridges of the Yew Mountains meet a series of prominent peaks and gaps. The landscape is defined by its verticality, rising from the valley floor at Trout and Friars Hill toward the heights of Cold Knob Mtn and Short Mtn. These small settlements are linked by winding routes like Leonard Cordova Rd and Richwood Rd, tracing the natural paths carved by drainage systems including Spring Cr and Roaring Cr. For local historians, the placement of the Reed Cem and various family-named features like Luther's Knob and Boggs Knob provide specific points of reference for tracing the early residency and land use patterns of this upland region.
