1968 Map of Bath Alum

About this map

The Cowpasture River carves a winding path through the heart of this Appalachian landscape, defining the topography between the George Washington National Forest and the heights of Warm Springs Mountain. In the late 1960s, the small communities of Bath Alum and McClung served as the primary settlement points, clustered near the junction of Thompson Creek and the river. The map reveals a high concentration of local heritage sites, including the Woodland Ch Cem and Westminster Chapel Cem, alongside the Windy Cove Ch at the southern bend of the river.
