1966 Map of Alleghany

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

Dunlap Creek carves a narrow valley through the center of this terrain, following a path shared by the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad and Interstate 64. This mid-1960s survey captures the high-elevation boundary between Virginia and West Virginia, anchored by the settlement of Alleghany and the prominent Lewis Tunnel. The landscape is defined by the steep ridges of Peters Mountain and Dameron Mountain, where isolated communities like Hematite and Crows sit along the creek bed. Near the southern border, the map details the mineral spring heritage of the region at Sweet Chalybeate and Sweet Springs. Several rural congregations are recorded, including Palestine Ch and Forrest Memorial Ch, alongside local landmarks like Beaverdam Falls and the Lewis Tunnel Cem. Much of the eastern portion is protected within the George Washington National Forest, showing a network of mountain runs and hollows such as Cast Steel Run and Jack Tucker Hollow.
