Torope

Torope lies in the upper Greenbrier River country, among the mountains of the central Appalachians. The river's East and West forks meet at Durbin, then flow southwest past Cass and Marlinton toward the New River. Its unusually straight course follows a geological boundary: folded ridges lie to the east, while the flatter rocks of the Appalachian Plateau rise to the west. Knapps Creek is among the streams joining the Greenbrier.
