The Meadow River carves through the landscape of the New River Gorge National River in this survey of eastern Fayette County. The map details a transition from river-bottom settlements like Nallen and Russellville to high ridge communities including Lookout and Clifftop. Transportation history is evident along the Meadow River Rail-Trail, which follows the winding river course along the boundary with Nicholas and Greenbrier Counties. Local genealogy is well-represented by several family-named landmarks and burial sites, such as the Jennette Cem near Spy Rock and the Amick Cem in the southern portion of the sheet. The landscape is defined by its dramatic relief, where The Divide and Hogpen Ridge overlook numerous tributaries like Brackens Cr and Keeney Cr. Educational history is preserved through the location of the Flannigan School near Winona.
