2019 Map of Alvon

About this map

Anthony Creek carves a deep valley through the Allegheny Mountains in this modern topographic record of the West Virginia and Virginia border. The settlement of Alvon serves as a central point along the creek, notable for its cluster of groundwater resources including Alvon Spring Number 1, Alvon Spring Number 3, and Alvon Spring Number 4. The landscape is defined by long, parallel ridges like Beaver Lick Mtn and Slabcamp Mtn, which are dissected by numerous drafts and hollows such as Whites Draft and Mudlick Hollow. Significant portions of the terrain fall within the Monongahela National Forest and George Washington National Forest, where established paths like the Middle Mountain Trail #608 follow the high ground. Small communities such as Neola, Shryock, and Sue dot the valley floor, connected by roads that shadow the winding path of Anthony Creek.
