2019 Map of Bath Alum

About this map

McClung and Bath Alum serve as the primary hubs in this section of Bath County, where the valley floor of the Cowpasture River meets the steep ascent of the Alleghenies. Much of the western terrain is dominated by the George Washington National Forest, characterized by prominent peaks like Warm Springs Mtn and Tower Hill Mountain. The map reveals a landscape defined by its hydrography and topography, from the drainage of Thompson Cr to the high-elevation gaps of Gates Hollow and Wide Draft Hollow. Local infrastructure is represented by the Bath Alum Airport and a network of secondary routes such as River Rd and State Rte 629. For those interested in recreation or land use, the presence of the Mare Run Trl and various springs like Big Spring highlight the area's natural resources and transition from managed forest to rural valley settlements.
