  Minhiriath - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Minhiriath (Sindarin for 'Between Rivers' and thus an Elvish form of Mesopotamia) was located in Eriador, a name for all the lands between the Hithaeglir and the Ered Luin.
Minhiriath had no clear border in the north, but to the south, and east and west it was bounded by river and sea : the Brandywine, the Greyflood and Belegaer, 'The Great Sea'.
The original inhabitants of Minhiriath (Minhiriathrim) were descended from the same Atani as the ancestors of the Númenóreans, but because they spoke mutually unintelligible languages, the Númenóreans did not class the Minhiriathrim as Middle Men.

 Eryn Vorn - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Forming the western tip of what became known as Minhiriath, it was originally part of the vast ancient treescape that covered most of north-western Middle-earth, and was named by the early Númenórean explorers of the Second age.
Throughout the following millenium, Minhiriath's landscape beyond the cape was systematically deforested by the Númenóreans in their greed for ship-building timber, and was then almost completely burnt down during the ensuing War of the Elves and Sauron.
Eryn Vorn eventually fell under the jurisdiction of Arnor after Númenór's destruction at the end of the Second Age, and from 861 in the Third Age, the Black Woods became a nominal part of Cardolan, one of Arnor's three successor states.

Since the Great Plague of the year 1636 of the Third Age Minhiriath had been almost entirely deserted, though a few secretive hunter-folk lived in the woods....But in the earlier days, at the time of the first explorations of the Numenoreans, the situation was quite different.
Minhiriath and Enedwaith were occupied by vast and almost continuous forests...." (Tolkien, "Unfinished Tales", pp.
Woodlands may have survived elsewhere in Minhiriath, particularly along the shores of the Gwathlo itself or as the Old Forest, but Eryn Vorn seems to be what Tolkien had in mind when speaking of these secretive hunter-folk.

 Man (Middle-earth) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
When Elendil founded the Kingdom of Arnor its borders were quickly extended towards the river Greyflood (Sindarin: Gwathló), and Gondor likewise extended up through Enedwaith.
In Enedwaith (Middle-land) and Minhiriath (Sindarin for Land between the Rivers) lived a group of Men related to those Men that became the House of Haleth, and they were known as the Dunlendings.
They had lived in the great woods that covered most of Eriador, and when the Númenóreans started to chop these woods down to build their ships in the Second Age, the Dúnedain of Númenor earned the hostility of the Dunlendings.

Most of the House of Bëor had been killed after the Dagor Bragollach, and therefore the Hadorian accent had become most prevalent.
Adûnaic seems not to have been influenced by the language of the Second House of Men, the Haladin tongue, at all: when the Númenóreans returned to Middle-earth in the Second Age, they did not recognise the peoples of Enedwaith and Minhiriath as their distant kin, because these spoke Haladin languages.
The Westron or Common Speech, widely spoken in Middle-earth during the Third Age, was largely derived from Adûnaic.

 White Council archive | Eriador in the Third Age -- Where People Lived | Tolkien and the Inklings discussion
The Great Plague seems the least likely, but if the communities had already been depleted by emigration, their populations could have died out more easily in the plague.
Since Tolkien says no other settlements of Men survived close to the Shire (outside of Bree) by the end of the Third Age, the Minhiriathians must have lived in isolated homesteads, much as the Folk of Haleth who settled south of Brethil in the First Age did.
The story of the Great Plague given in Appendix A to THE LORD OF THE RINGS implies that Minhiriath suffered more than other parts of Cardolan, so some people may have survived in the South Downs, or maybe the implication just refers to Tharbad.

 Rhovanion Alliance - A Mod for The Battle For Middle-Earth   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
The Númenóreans greedily harvested Gwaithuirim forests for timber, and after much war and bloodshed, the Gwaithuirim from south of the Gwathló fled east to the Hithaeglir while others scattered to the cape of Eryn Vorn and the White Mountains.
At the end of the Second Age, the land north of the Gwathló and south of the Baranduin was named Minhiriath "Land between the Rivers", although the land south of Minhiriath remained unnamed.
Its inhabitants were largely ignored despite the fact that the Gondor colonial city of Tharbad grew up on the Gwathló west of the Misty Mountain hillfolk who had been Gwaithuirim long before.
